  Mud is a big problem in the rainy season for people who live in the bush. It makes obtaining clean water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing difficult, as well as causing "ground itch," a painful burning foot fungus from having your feet constantly wet and muddy. The amount of slippery mud makes everything more difficult and dangerous. And in the rainy season, the lagoons and rivers become muddy, which affects fishing. Serious problems with mud have been developing in several communities over the years due to the heavy deforestation. The result is drying rivers and creeks, but heavy deposits of mud at the creek/river bars after several years. As a result, in 2009, the bar at Cane Creek was nearly completely closed and virtually impassable by all but the smallest and lightest dories, obligating people to get out of the dory, and sink nearly up to their knees in gooey, sticky mud to try to haul the dory over the bar and into the creek. For the first time in memory, Wiring cay bar was 100% closed in 2009 during the dry season. There are many different names and classifications of catfish/mudfish/eels by different speakers. "Mudfish" generally refers to "sabut." Corn River said to have large freshwater catfish.
