Thread: Diversion Canal

From St James Boat Club launch (hwy 61) it's about a 12 mile boat ride to the Diversion Canal. Canal Bank launch (hwy 22) or Hill Top launch (Bayou Pierre Dr) or Fred's launch (hwy 42) would be closer but have to go though the no wake zones (notice the "s" on zones). It all depends where at on the Diversion Canal you want to go it starts at the Amite River weir and ends at Blind River. ----> Google map it <---- Instead I would fish the canals off the Diversion Canal like the Amite River, Petite Amite (some call it Smith Bayou but it's not), and off Blind River the Joe Bourgeois Canal (sac-a-lait) and Bayou Chene Blanc into the Chinquapin Canal (good fly fishing bream area). Can also get into the Chinquapin Canal from the Amite River near Whitehall / Maurepas. Blind River area was my old stomping grounds.
