Description
This is a common area that finds fisherman flocking to it's banks in the winter time as the redfish start to fill in the deeper waters of the bayou.
The old course of the Mississippi River Flowed through this area approximately 3000 years ago.It was marsh all the way past the Chandeleurs.It also laid the mud down where New Orleans is,and by doing that turned Pontchartrain into a lake by laying land down on its southern side.Once the river stretched out that far into the gulf it was only a matter of time until a flood broke through upstream and the river found a shorter route to the sea.
This is also available in black & white.
