Louisiana wetlands (5)

I believe the answer is:

bayou

(Other definitions for bayou that I've seen before include "Swampy area" , "bit of wetland in Texas, eg" , "Marshy place in Louisiana" , "Marshy tributary of lake or river - a buoy (anag)" , "Marshy outlet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
