Report Available Relating Fish Condition and Primary Production to Calcasieu Oysters

[Marque]

The guy I talked to was at the launch at Prien Park on a day that no one in their right mind should have been fishing. It was 3 or so in the afternoon and I was the first person he questioned all day.I had only run up to the park to pick up a pack of cigarettes from the store across the street on my way to the casino. We had caught like 2 trout in turners that morning so he did his survey and thats when he told me about their study. He told me that the net in Prien had far more trout than any other one he checked for the last couple of weeks. Which surprised the hell out of me. the water temp was in the mid 50's and the river was at flood stage and fresh as hell. We ended up picking up a few off the ship channel after we left but I would have never thought to fish there on that day in those conditions. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I think it would be great to have that kinda timely info available. Especially in a year like last year where the long cold winter screwed up the normal pattern.
