Thread: Old River at Morganza

River at 19 feet in BR this morning. Does this mean river water is pouring into Old River at Morganza? I'm under the impression anything over 15 feet floods the lake. Right or wrong??

15 is the stage at BR I have always used. I don't fish old river at morganza much anymore but I did for a long time. What I always found is the spawn, especially sac a lait, is later there than in other places in Louisiana. That river water coming in from the Mississippi is C-O-L-D!!! I have caught sac a lait there full of eggs in April. I always started fishing there at about 25 feet and falling.
