From Staff Reports View Comments The drowning of a 15-year-old Bossier Parish boy fishing on Lake Bistineau last week highlights the need for safety barriers at spillways on state-operated waterbodies, according to Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell and Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington. Currents can be swift and unpredictable where impoundments hold back water on manmade lakes, Campbell said.  Louisiana can prevent needless drownings at these spillways with floating safety barriers or similar devices. Campbell made his case in a letter to Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet. Campbell wrote Montoucet one week after 15-year-old Hayden Lane Mangum of Elm Grove drowned while fishing with a friend at the Lake Bistineau spillway on Louisiana Highway 154.
