Sardis Lake, MS

Reservoir spanning Panola/Lafayette counties, Mississippi. A 32,100-acre USACE flood-control reservoir on the Little Tallahatchie River in north Mississippi, one of the state's big four crappie lakes. Sardis gives up huge numbers of white and black crappie along with largemouth bass, blue and channel catfish, white bass and bream. Lower Lake recreation area and the spillway draw heavy fishing pressure.

No live USGS real-time water-temp gage on the Sardis pool (the Sardis Dam gages 07272500/07273000 are not reporting via the IV service), so the bite score uses the seasonal baseline. USACE ramps: Sardis Lower Lake, John W. Kyle State Park, Engineers Point. 12 in crappie minimum, 15/day on the Sardis flood-control lake.
