Question about Canals and Everglades Restoration Efforts

Featured Replies

I spent most of my younger years fishing in South Florida.  Much of the time I fished Everglades Holiday Park, L67, the Miami River and Alligator Alley.  In those days you could run from Holiday Park all the way to Tamiami Trail and far out the Alley.  All the canals were interconnected.   Since they have been working on the Everglades, I'm wondering if you can still run these canals?

Not sure how long ago you are referring to, but all the canals are still connected.  From Holiday Park. you can run to Tamiami Trail then out west, you can also still run to the Alley, then west and north along Hwy 27.

Thanks for the info.  I had heard that they were considering filling L67 at one point.  Then I heard they were going to put weirs across the canals to force the water out into the Glades.  Has any of this work affected the fishing?   I have fond memories of L67 in low water when we caught so many bass our arms were tired.    The mudfish were so thick you had to run a stainless prop just to run the canal.  When I was young and stupid I used to fish those canals at night alone.   Yikes!!

Sun Sentinel 6/10/17, has a big article in the sports section about the Everglades Restoration.  A new area has just opened.
