Tree top removal Calcasieu River
 

Made a trip out of White Oak this morning. There was a crew removing all the tree tops all the way up to Moss Bayou. Caught a few sacs and small bass. All my spots are gone now. THANKS FEMA!!!!!!

Why?????????????????????

Yea I'm not sure why out of the blue they decided to do this.

What da' ?

Heading that way in 15 min to fish out of WO....

Well that didn't last too long... Fished North till around 0730 and ran back to stay ahead of the weather...

I would like to know what's up, looks like a mess :shaking: ...

I spoke to one of the workers. He said they are removing the trees that fell during rita. my question is i thought the calcasieu is a scenic river. Looks like we will have more company trying to fish far north. Yesterday the wave runners were already hauling butt up there. Not to mention the tubers.

Trees that fell during Rita ??? What a boondoggle....

I'll jerk some chains in the AM, what a mess...

Should have seen that incinerator at the launch before daylight, thing was puking out sparks and embers ... Probably burned a hole in my Jeep's top...

BTW, caught a couple before burnin' it back to the landing this AM ...

I've heard they are dredging, pulling logs, the whole nine yards.
But how far are they going north? Past the narrows?

This is crazy ??? Not like there is any commercial traffic or anything like that past White Oak to warrant removal of navigation hazards :shaking: ...

May be time to start launching at Kinder and runnin' South :rolleyes: ... This should be interesting...

The worker said moss bayou.

Moss Bayou ???

They will be heading next to West Fork, to Houston River, to Buxton Creek, Choupique Bayou, then to the Vinton Drain Ditch. From what I have heard.

Well ain't that lovely..

They can spend the next 10 yrs in Houston River with all the laydowns in there, none related to any hurricane ...

What a waste...

wonder if they are finding any old sunken logs and if so what are they doin with them.... I am sure theres some good high dollar logs down there

They had a portable incinerator at the launch burnin' at 0500 this morning, not sure of their protocol but it looks as if whatever is picked up is burned...

This sucks...

river has been making a comeback so I guess they figure if mother nature wont hurry and ruin it again they will by doin this crap.... just have to break the chainsaws out when they finnish

Still doesn't add up...

Fool, did you get Rab up to speed on what's going on ?

They were working at 1 this morning burning more logs. Sure seems like a lot of money just being burnt. I also heard they can't give or sell any of it.

Don't agree with it, but I am sure the reason is that these waterways drain all flood waters in the area and debris slows down that drainage.
