Too much rain for mudbugs?



So at least all this rain ought to mean a bumper crop of crawfish at the state many mudbug farms, right?  Not quite, according to David Savoy of the Louisiana Crawfish Farmers Association.

Savoy says too much rain is also a problem.  He says flooding has overtopped levees in some ponds, bringing in crawfish predators.

"All types of fish will get in these ponds and they consumer all the crawfish we've got," Savoy lamented.  

He says the overtopping also allows crayfish to swim out.
