Does anybody think false river can come back?

I have a theory and it involves all of the beer cans that are on the bottom of it.

Google it, it is well documented....

Well I went today and the disturbing thing was that there were not even fish showing up on the graph anywhere

*crosses off False River from list for tomorrow*

Yeah, you're not going to catch shite until they get rid of the silt and get grass back in there.

Problem is they got rid of the grass about 20 years ago and dug the canals on both ends and now it silts up the lake.

This. One of the canals runs thru my place. Was once a honey hole for Sac au lait. The canal was only a small ditch and now it is so big that right after they dug it, one could run a boat thru it. Then the banks started caving in. That push the silt to False River.

Then at the same time, home owners and camp owners wanted the grass killed off around there piers, so WL&F's did that. Bam, they killed the lake.

Back in the late 1980's, the lake was on fire. Best bass was 9 lbs,6 oz for me. Use to fish the lake 4 to 5 times a week. In the last 10 years, I haven't fish it.


Are they going to fix it? They are only throwing 1 million bucks to try to fix it. That is not enough.

Fish: Are you located on the Ventress side of False River? My brother-in-law has the place next to the golf course on the New Roads side.

Why does false river suck so bad?

It's become a giant version of City Park/University Lakes. FR used to be a fishing Mecca, and cars would be lined up for a mile at Bonaventure's Boat Landing.

Take up bow fishing and kill some gar. I know a guy who does well out there doing that

yeah, its been closed for at least ten years I think. Not sure if true, but someone told me they sold to a company who was going to build some condos, then after the sale found out they had been dumping stuff behind the restuarant for 40 years and was going to have to do extensive dirt work in order to build. Hence why it's just sitting there.
