There is a culvert that goes from one side to the other. If you go by there now, you can see some of them that they pulled and stacked to the side. I hope they leave it out of the finished plan. Always seemed weird to me that it went unbroken from one side to the other. I would think that a regular ...

There would have been fish kills regardless of the season that it started. But, I assume it was because of the funding and mobilization of equipment. They started a few months later than was initially reported. They also made a test plot in one of the coves off Stanford last year. Probably reali...

I have an echo fiberglass 3 wt that I use. 3 piece and 6'9" long. Has a lifetime warranty. Gives good bend on smaller fish but still enough backbone to throw a big dry and a dropper. It's a very slow action though so takes some getting used to if you normally throw graphite. ...

If it's a private canal, you will have to do it yourself. If it's a public canal, you will have to call your parish department of public works. Good luck...
I think the oily sheen is just a biofilm from all the death and decay rather than anything dealing with an oil spill. The film was in the Blind, Amite, and Tickfaw and all the rivers are rolling out into Maurepas at the moment. If it was some conspiracy oil spill that they are trying to cover, I don...

re: False River Draw Down

Level is at 13.8 now. Normal pool stage is between 15.5 and 16. Sandbar was shut down because they started dropping trailers off the end. I would imagine that it would be open now, but I would still launch with extreme caution assuming it is open. LA Express is probably still closed. The owner of th...

They dredged at the north end until they ran out of storage area for the dredge material. They still had some money on the contract so they moved everything to the south end to clear out some material outside of Bayou Chenal and pumped it on top of the island to fill in where the other material had ...

I don't know about whether they have affected the crappie numbers, but the Asian carp die off has been occurring yearly in many active oxbows. They don't seem to do well in the lakes like they do in the rivers and moving waters....
