Great news for Belle River area folks. Hopefully they construct the flood gate in Chene so it can manage water flow, not just dead shut or wide open. The ability to manage the flow would allow a good flow through Chene but not so much as to back up water and stop Belle River from draining. I did see Bayou Penchant is up in the same time frame. The spillway and lower atchafalaya area will be a lot different when the water finally goes down. We may loose access to a lot of good areas due to sand bars and silt. Some areas may improve if the river digs through some of the barriers. The mouth of dog island pass and the mouth of the 21 should be interesting.
