About the fishing here

Grenada Lake is a flood-control reservoir in north-central Mississippi built by the Army Corps of Engineers, shallow and stump-filled with flooded timber along its old creek channels. It is nationally known as one of the best crappie lakes in the country, especially in spring when fish move onto the shallow brush. Largemouth bass and catfish fill out the rest of the fishery. Water levels are managed for flood control, so they can drop noticeably later in the season.

Anglers here regularly land Bluegill, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Striped Bass and Blue Catfish.

For Bluegill, the fishing tends to peak around May-Jul. The best windows are usually dawn, day and dusk.

A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
