I found out the camp is on Lanan Bay. It is suppose to be minutes from the Pendleton Bridge. Is there good fishing around the bridge for Sacalait?

It's been about almost two months since I went to the lake from Theriot Boat Launch. Last time I went the entrance to the lake was almost completely blocked by a small floating island and a mass of lilies. I barely made it through into the lake. I guess there is no maintenance by the parish…

Plenty of places to fish without boat traffic, most of the boat traffic is in the middle of the lake. Both east and west boat ramps are good, cost 3.00 to launch. plenty of bass to be caught and white perch and bream.

Anyone know if South Farms has been open/accesible for crawfishing? The WLF handbook states that it opens Mar 15 in Sherburne but I know in the past sometimes they were closed due to high water. Just seeing if anyone has any helpful info. Thanks!
