Don't waste your time if its rising, watch the gauge and look up north for memphis as well if its falling up there it will be falling there in the next day or so. I have caught fish at 26.1 but if you see it at 21 and fallling anytime between april and july just go don't call or ask for a report just go!for crappie, ehen its 21 to 18 fish around the camps, they have boat docks that are under the water fish right around them at whatever depth hthey are at. If its 18 to 13 fish the far west end of the lake in the willow trees, there is a chute that runs out into the ms river and when it gets below 11 the river does not get in there and the fishing slows way down.

If you want bream just hit the willow trees and find the depth they are holding, and you will catch the biggest bream you have ever seen. Caught many over a lb there.

If you aren't catching much, bring some catfish gear and fish that chute i mentioned or go on out to the river there is a wind dyke with rocks right there at the mouth and put a shad or skipjack on the bottom and you will catch.

Also, if you see any type of schooling activity taking place, its white bass (barfish), you can fill a boat with em when you find em. Caught tons of em right in front of the boat ramp, and they will school up around that wing dyke also.

If you really aren't catching anything and get desperate, go to the far west end around the willows and there will be thousands of gar right on top of the water to play with. Beware the asian carp jumping also! They have really gotten in that water body

great advice!!!
