Enid Lake - 11/16/2009
FISHING MISSISSIPPI
FALL SEASON
Water level 258.08, falling 0.1 ft/day, murky to clear. For water level information, call
(662)563-4571 or check http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/riverstage/bullet.txt The lake is falling
slowly. Several ramps are underwater and/or you launch off the road or parking lot. Best luck
for crappie has been trolling jigs and/or minnows 15 - 20 ft deep in creek mouths and the lower
half of the main lake. Longbranch has been good. Fish worms or stink baits in the river or
creeks for catfish. For largemouths, best luck has been flipping soft plastics into brushy cover in
creek mouths. For bigger bass, fish similar cover on main lake points. The lake was 24.4 ft
above rule curve Monday. See http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/offices/ed/edh/plots/enidplot.jpg
Fall drawdown has resumed with a target elevation of 230 ft by December 1. Expect high water
releases this winter.
The spillway had one gate open 4.0 ft (1500 cfs) Monday. Best luck should be for
channel catfish on standard baits.
The daily creel limit for crappie on Enid Lake is 20 per person. The minimum length
limit for crappie is 12 inches. Anglers fishing Enid Lake may use no more than 5 poles per
person. The 12 inch length limit does not apply to the reservoir spillway, but the spillway has a
20 crappie creel limit.
