High Waters Force Postponement of Drawdown of Louisiana's Latt Lake

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has postponed a scheduled drawdown on Iatt Lake in Grant Parish. The drawdown has been delayed indefinitely due to the high water level in the Red River, prohibiting the lake from draining.

The Department will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the drawdown schedule as necessary.

The intent of the drawdown is to control nuisance aquatic vegetation.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
