138-acre lake near Neshoba County. The lake tops out around 14 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 171 acres wrapped in 3.9 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.5 mi across. Neshoba County claims this one. If the bite dies, Okatibbee Reservoir is 19 mi to the southeast.
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 14 ft, then a winter hold in 4 to 14 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.
