I have a stopped up drain and some flooded gum and red maple timber with 3 ft of water on it.
How long can it take water without killing the trees?

I've seen trees survive underwater from beaver dams for years before eventually dying off. How long you expect em to be underwater?

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

I thought you were kidding. Months. You are fine...
Looks like a good spot for some ducks to hang out!

I would get the water right after duck season
Usually, it is recommended to not put water on before November 1 and to have it off before March 1, and to leave it dry at least one winter every five years. However, getting it on early every now and then won't kill the trees.
edited to add: If you've got a lot of high spots, it might be fine but 3 ft of water is really too deep for anything but diving ducks. If you're targeting wood ducks or brown ducks, you really don't want more than 18" of water... think about how a duck feeds and how far down a duck can reach and where the food is... = 18".

I have plenty of mature gums and maples in my swamp that have lived in water probably all their lives- you won't kill them
Think about arkansas river flood events and gtr's that hold water well into spring green up......i think you are fine.

If it were me I would be hoping it killed the sweet gum trees
