Believe W and I as well as a lot of others that saw what that lake looked like after Rita.
I can't prove it by any scientific numbers but when those levees were busted it was one of the largest influxes of trout I have seen in my life. The winter of 05 was one of the best I have fished besides 99&2001 monster trout and a lot of them. They are still there but the #'s just have not been steady the past few years
It survived for many HUNDREDS of years just fine. It probably survived HUNDREDS of hurricanes as well, BUT when man came along and dug a ship channel it gave a direct route for saltwater to get into a system that was not a saltwater system. Wiers mitigate against this.
