Is big lake done?

Maybe our grand children can catch bass. A 70 yo friend says when his Dad came to SW Louisiana that he caught bass in Black Lake. There are plans to put in rock barriers with boat cuts in Kelso Bayou and in the Salt Ditch off of the ICW and turn all of that marsh fresh. These would be rock barriers across the openings with a lower barrier 75'-100' wide in the middle to allow boats and barges into Black Lake. This would keep most of the heavier salt water from coming in on tide changes. If they get in early and stock Florida bass in Black Lake it could be a great fishery.
