re: Converting LakeP into freshwater

I gotta theory on this kinda stuff (stuff like turning a salt/brackish water lake into a fresh water lake).......


there's a reason GAAAAAAWWWWWDDDDDD his own self put that lake there the way he did. You just don't understand reason.....

Anytime man/the corps/me and you try to "undo" nature, its generally a bad plan. See Mississippi River Delta's, Upper Ouachita Refuge/WMA, etc.....

When I was a kid, we used to cach trout in Lake P behind the houses on Folse Street in Metarie. This was like 1975 - 1980. We'd ride down Transcontinental, back to our houses, w/stringer of trout hanging off the handlebars.

In the 80's, the lake was dredged for it's shells, for use in construction, and was turned into choc milk. the fish left.

when the moratorium on shell dredging started, environmentalist said, "great, in a hundred years, the lake will be back to normal,and the trout will return".

they came back the next year I'm told. I had already left south la by then, so I can't verify.

anyway, the point of the story if that we pretty much need to leave chit alone.
