It was clear 2 days ago but muddied up again. Once it drops a foot it will pull the black water out the swamp and you will have some nice water between Teppy's and Loraine.

^^^what he said. I do water quality monitoring on the Lacassine watershed and so far have noticed higher turbidity levels from around mid-February to mid-May. During the rest of the year the numbers are actually pretty low. There are fluctuations here and there due to rainfall. I'm basing this on information gathered at my most southern site on the new Hwy 14 bridge crossing the bayou.

and what would be the ideas of "stocking" the bayou like the recently did else where, cant remember exactly where they did it, but i remember seeing that they released like 100k bass in a river system somewhere to try and bring them back...

what would be your thoughts on something such as this on the bayou?

i am not real familiar with the bayou, but as far as i know barely any bass are caught there. unless there is a secret that i am not aware of....

No need to stock the bayou seen many of bass pour out the pool when water gets high enough to pour over north and east rollers.

They are fish there. The locals are just tight lipped.

When I was a child back in the 60's and into my teens in the 70's I saw plenty of sac-a-lait pulled out of Lacassine Bayou by Murphy Cormier, "Blanco" Bourgeois, Clyde DeRouen, and probably the best of them all..."Cobby" Landry. Cobby, Blanco and Murphy all had camps south of Lorraine Bridge and fished the bayou several days a week. Clyde fished with them but was also a great bass fisherman, taking several over 5 lbs. and one over 6 on a fly rod. They knew how to fish it in just about any conditions. I think that is the trick. Get out there and learn it. I have fished it over the years and have done pretty good on sac-a-lait but never like these guys did.

Had the pleasure of meeting Blanco at Murphy's old camp....Funny character with lots of wisdom on Laccassine.

Also, what about way up north on the bayou where you would come up to Bayou Chene?

any reports from that far north?

I have fish up north towards bayou chene never had any luck always caught good south of teppes bridge. If you have time one weekend we can make a trip. Defiantly have some fish in there. You ever fished the wiggles and misere south of intercoastal? Very good bass fishing there also with a few reds to boot.

buncha clowns up in hurr, up in hurr... yall gon make me lose my mind, up in hurr, up in hurr....

[Duffy.yyz]

There are fish all over, just harder to catch them in some locations..

Sweetlake
Bayou Hypolite
Black Bayou
Misere
Willow Lake
There are plenty of places

[cgoods17]

10-4, may give it a try one day.. or at least drink beer and catch a tan out there

[funkyflemmons]

I live 10 minutes from launch. I've caught them on jugs before. One pushing 4 and know of many other fish being caught out there. Just not a place many people go when they wanna bass. Fish

Crossing my mind to launch at Lorraine this weekend probably a dumb move though lol

Also Streeters is due east of 1 mile and just south is east roller ditch. I have also caught bass in the Illinois canal and around Cane Island.

[BassYakR]

Do it Jared! Cant be much worse than the river right now.... id launch at hwy 14 and go south tho.

[saute86]

Almost forgot the Pipeline Ditch has been known to produce a bass or 2.

Is there a public launch at the Hwy 14 bridge?
What are the other public launches that give you access to the south end of Lacassine Bayou?

Where do most people launch from to fish that south area of the bayou?

I have fished in the pools a little for the past 4-5 years since I moved to Lacassine but have never been on the bayou or to Streeters

Garys land will give fastest route by water.

I launch at HWY 14 when I fish south. Launch isn't bad at all. They graded it a few weeks ago and it isn't as rough of a drive in.
