Possible Fish Kill?

What are the chances of a fish kill from TS Lee? Anyone know the pressure needed to "turn over" the water? I know we won't be dealing with much of a surge but the pressure is of concern... Of course, I'm mainly concerned about the Atchafalaya Basin and Lake Verret area bc that's where I mainly fish and the marsh bass seem to handle storms better than said other fish. Thoughts?

I have only heard good things about what could happen to the fishing after LEE.

It could happen in small ponds, but open waters ,its not going to happen. Extra high water, wind action(puts extra O2 in water) and cooler temps will prevent a water roll over fish kill.

My father-in-law told me they had a small fish kill in his 10-acre pond. He said it looked to be mostly trash fish like gar and goo

Immediately after a tidal surge and as the waterws recede, the fishing in the marsh is generally great because of specks that are brought in and of red drum that feed on forage. Later, expect some fish kills in the uppper estaries and freshwater areas as "degraded, low-oxygenated water" from swamps, pastures, etc. drain back into the waterways. The extent of the fish kills will depend on the amount of drainage, how long the water stagnated before draining, water temperature, and local weather conditons (cloudy weather is the worst).

fish kills aren't the problem. However most of the marsh duck hunters can likely kiss submerged aquatics good bye. As long as the water has been in the marsh, it will likely all be dead.
We had a storm similar to this about 15 years ago, Juan. It just sat over the mouth of the river and IMO did almost more damage to the marsh than Katrina. Hope this doesn't have the same results.
