The two floods last year alone did wonders for the swamp. It was greener and fuller this summer than any since Katrina. Heck ive seen cypress trees that I assumed were dead start to produce Green leaves again

Rebuilding the diversion rock bed will send more water down the Amite and into the swamp. Whats to study? Dump some freakin rocks where they used to be!
Thats all my old buddys in the pic. all we did back in the 80`s, hunt, fish, and play ball.

Swamps are extremely complicated things. No two are alike, and making a plan to manage them is always an educated guess by the HNIC. A lot of times, the people managing them disagree on the process, but everyone is always chasing the same goal.
It could've been the higher clean water levels moved detritus around. River water could've added sediment. Could've been both. Hell, it is good for some swamps when you see the top few feet of soil dry up and crack open. What we do know is that salt water is extremely bad for the trees in that area. They cannot tolerate it.
Moral of the story is that there's no better place in the world than inside a South Louisiana swamp

I've been fishing Blind river my whole life and this year it was excellent. Several tournaments had winning stringers of 13-14lbs. The majority of boats brought in 5 fish. I can remember as little as 7-8 years ago 5lbs was winning tournaments by a large margin. Even the perch and sacalait fishing was good. We had spillway size goggle eye swallowing our frogs on topwater. It's amazing what a little flush can do.
