Most excellent adventure!
The drawdown every four years on D’Arbonne opens a world of wonder. We scour the bottom finding old chairs and tables, rod and reel combos, baits, almost anything after this spring’s flood.

I’ve been asked today by friends to turn over the website to retired LDWF agent Sgt. Duane Taylor. Glad to do it. Scott Bullitt, this is for you.
