The main source of flow in the bayou is rainfall, which can cause flash floods during heavy rain events. The bayou has several tributaries, including Bayou Beouf and Bayou Des Cannes, which can contribute to its flow during wet seasons. There are no significant dams on the bayou. Seasonal trends show that the flow is highest during the wet season (typically from May to October) and lowest during the dry season (typically from November to April). Interestingly, Bayou Nezpique is known for its diverse fish population, including largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish.
