I am thinking about making the 1 1/2 hour drive to Henderson on Friday. Wondering how the recent rains have affected it. Can someone give me some information? I have only fished it once before. Thanks

Don't bother Tiger. Water is on the rise right now. Went last Saturday and water was messed up except for a few areas. Caught a few fish, but not as many as the week before. The rain had nothing to do with it. It's the snow melt from the north and the rain from up there too. The gates are open also. Maybe you may get some better information on here later. I am in the process of deciding where to go other than Henderson this week..
Thanks for the report, might save me a trip
Thinking about going to tomorrow, I'm not sure now? Best one to to ask, would b swamper. Hopful I named him wright. He know Henderson basin, looks like he fishes there often. And catches a good bit.Quote:

google old river damn road merryville.
I will do that, thanks. Heard anything from the mermentau area?
None but I am going to the camp this weekend and try streeters and the other reserve canals.
