Yes this is thru. Cause when they open the spillway on lake p get flooded with river water the trout stay. It's deep enough for the trout to still b comfy in the lake. I don't think it's enough salinity to make em spawn; not many big fish caught when spillways are open.
Also the fresh water deposits all type of nutrients and vegetation into the lake which provides habitat and food for small bait fish; which the trout and reds Feed on. So flushing lake p is actually not a horrible thing. Bc the following year will b awesome!

Like your post! We seem to come from the same school of thought. Many times I've caught trout, and nice ones at that, with Crypremort Point showing 3-4ppm. I have always thought the trout will stay in the area if there is a salinity zone near the bottom w/ fresh water on top. Many areas in VB with coves and points will provide an area with trapped, higher level salinities; the Cove and Mud point are good examples.

Over here, only deep water is in Lake Charles and the Ship Channel.
Everything else gets wiped clean with fresh water.

I didn't realize that, until I was at a private impounded marsh in Hackberry with several biologist who were evaluating a marsh for a guy who was looking to buy the land. Bass were not growing, but were still there, after Hurricane Francis flooded over the levee's.
Biologist told him that when water evaporates, only the fresh water goes up and the salt will stay. Making it a lot more salty. If the new owner was going to buy the land and use it to fish Bass, he was going to have to fix the levee's and the diesel pump he had there.
Biologist also said too much freshwater and sun will eventually make the vegetation clog up the marsh. Their recommendation was to monitor the salinity and not let it get too high or to low.
The salinity meter was around $1500 if I am remembering correctly.

Whaddabout da LNG? Dat place is always clear when everywhere else is muddy, figger it would remain salty.

It was not clear in LNG yesterday. There was very little areas that had calm water yesterday due to the NNE winds. We fished from the back to Calcasieu Point.
Don't know about the salinity, but we saw no bait there.
Only place we saw birds was along the ship channel. White Pelicans. No Seagulls.
Few Liar Birds here and there too.

Liar Birds? I have to know what deez are

Lil white birds smaller than a gull.....they will work like gulls but very seldom will you catch fish under them. Dey liars

Yep. Theys liars.

Liar birds = Terns

You sho it aint turns?

I turn on the lights....I make a right turn when driving.....and I turn the screwdriver to put in a screw.

But.... the bird that people call a Liar bird is really a Tern.......according to my Webster.

Do they sale on the wind? Or do they sell on the wind?
