Cut Off

Find the city along a stretch of Highway 1 that is best known as the route drivers take to Grand Isle. Cut Off's unique name comes from a canal that was dug by early settlers to connect Bayou Lafourche to New Orleans, which made travel more accessible to and from remote parts of Lafourche Parish. The settlement at the source of the canal became known as Cut Off.

The freshwater streams and saltwater wetlands of Lafourche Parish give both amateur and professional anglers innumerable opportunities to catch prize-worthy fish while making memories to last a lifetime. Catch perch and rainbow trout, especially within Bayou Pierce, Bayou de la Gauche and Bayou Des Amoreux. For an extra challenge, try your hand at fly fishing in one of these quiet bayous. Call one of the local charter boat operators for more details.
