I have never been to the Bell City Drainage Ditch.

Where is the water coming from that is "boiling" in the first picture.

You also said that water was going in at the wiers to the Reserve. Is this water going into the Lacassine Pool?

That is going into the Drain Ditch not the Pool. The weirs are open and its gravity feeding into the pool. The water flowing into the pool is 10 times the volumn of what that pump is pumping.

Thats one in the same. That is a pump pumping water out of the marsh west of the reserve or Laccassine refuge. Back in the old days we called it the reserve. As a kid I use to fish it back when a 9.9 was the max hp allowed and you had to use the rollers. We would use the north rollers off Laccassine Bayou. To fish then involved a push pole cuz a trollig motor was useless. In those days you could fish all day and not see another boat.
