Nice mess, way to grind it out. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your success.
Had to try them, water has been up a long time and finally got to my first magic number on our river gauge here 36'. Outside willow trees!! Only problem is that every one of the outside big willows are dead. Had to fish what live trees that were left on order to catch these 9. White/chartreuse was the color. 8ft down in 12fow. I was wondering that if the dead willows were just on our oxbow or are they dead in other live oxbows as well. Y'all around Morganza let me know.

Nothing around the dead ones but goo! We have lost hundreds of big willows in both of our old rivers up here. Just wondering if that has happened in others like Yucatan and Morganza

GF…It looked to me like a lot of the cypress trees on the north end of Ol River in Pointe Coupee looked dead…and a lot of the button woods too! Not a lot of willows in that area, but I did notice some damage to the ones I saw. Haven’t been to the Mondo end of the lake yet so don’t know!
I was told the north end was damaged by a tornado some time ago…but I wonder if it’s because the water was so high for so long!

A good friend of mine from north Louisiana, has a 50 acre pond on his property. It used to be fantastic crappie fishing. Then the LDWF decided we needed beavers to make more lakes. We caught the crappie around live willow trees. I was cleaning a crappie and noticed a green gooey liquid in it’s stomach. Curious as to what the crappie were eating, I took a sample of the gooey stuff and looked at it under a microscope. Midge larvae!! Like mosquitoes but they don’t bite. Explains why green and chartreuse work so well. Back to the beavers. So the beavers killed every willow tree on the pond. Very few crappie!! Then the LDWF decided we needed more alligators!! Not so many beavers now and more crappie!!
I'll try to take a picture of what ours looks like. Use to be green everywhere
