re: What did this guy find while fishing the lake at LSU?

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 storm drain would just empty into the lake rather than go across the lake.

Wasn’t most of that done the first time they dredged the lakes?
I don't think it was ever successfully dredged because of the amount of stumps and trees.

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 realized that they would have to change their process up a bit regarding the stumps.
There are a bunch of them and they get in the way of the suction dredging.

They are dredging the lakes to make them deeper overall. Reworking May Street weir section. Adding the dredge material to expand the size of the bird sanctuary.
Interested to see what happens with all the stumps.
One of the big road blocks with the project was having to move the dredge material off site. They chose to add it to areas rather than move it. I don't think they have any plans for the stumps though.
Personally, I think they should culvert the corporation canal that goes around the lakes and turn that into a green space using the dredge material. Could do the same with the pond behind Her get hall.

Fill a 5 gallon bucket with pond water and see if it settles. If it doesn't, then you have some suspended clay particles. It won't clear without treatment.
re: 3 Wt skinny water fly rods

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.

I've seen plenty of people at False River catching catfish and sunfish off the docks around the New Roads public launch, Morels, and Saterfields.
re: Trees down in the canal...who cuts them?
Posted by friday1728 on 9/14/21 at 7:50 am to DMAN1968
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

re: Amite River, oil spill? dead fish?
Posted by friday1728 on 9/10/21 at 7:01 am to skidry
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't see how it would move up current in all of these rivers.

Looks like LDWF is expecting to stock their "get out and fish" lakes in mid January depending on temperatures. Locations can be found at the following link.

How much MSM are we talking about per gallon of water? I have the same crap in my yard and want to get rid of it. I have a 4 gal backpack sprayer.
Thanks

re: Good spot to fly fish in Baton Rouge without a boat?
Posted by friday1728 on 5/29/20 at 3:02 pm to mack the knife
I normally just park at any of the bridges near/north of
Zachary and wade from there. Terrestrial and poppers do well for spotted bass, long ear, blue gill.

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 the launch dredged out some of the area to the end of his dock, but I don't think they did anything beyond that. They dredged the area outside of Jim's but unless he got in there and moved some material in his slip, it is probably still out of commission also.
