I have said this here before: NOLA storm sewer system is a large % raw sewage if it hasn't rained.

Back in 2008 I worked on a monitoring project of sorts and spent some time in a john boat in them. I never saw any big fish but there were a lot of 6" cichlids and a few 5-6 ft alligators and several smaller ones.

The pump operators fed the gators their leftover lunches.

OK well maybe NO main sewer and storm sewer are connected but in many subdivisions and along road sides, the storm sewers are just underground concrete creeks that lead to open creeks or containment ponds and then on to local reservoirs. All of the input is surface runoff mostly from streets, residential yards, and parking lots. I have walked miles of these in TX and fished many and caught a ton of nice bass and sunfish. A great way to get some northern trout stream flyfishing experience in hot dry summer TX.
