bg granier says: Chris, here is a site report on Bayou Lacombe, Louisiana
where I have taken many NANFA/AKA members to collect native fishes. The
hurricane has left an extremely low DO reading (0.28) which means a massive
fish kill in the Lake Ponchartrain area, immediately north of the city of
New Orleans and surrounding areas.

Regards,

BG

Tim Ruth's face told a story: Reading his eyes was easy.
Like lots of first- and second-responders to Hurricane Katrina's aftermath,
Ruth said he's seen more than most in his life, and not as much as some.
The four-year Navy Corpsman -- his stint went from the late 1980s into the
early '90s -- said Friday nothing can train most folks for what's happened
since Aug. 29, the day Katrina ravaged southeast Louisiana.
