Tippah and Tallahatchie will be full and running after the heavy rains in the area the past couple of days. Etta bottom and Rocky Ford area will be flooded out. Look for rising and muddy water for a few days.

Where did all the muddy and rising water go?
Sardis up about 1', probably another 6" or so by weekend. Lake supposed to be at summer pool (260') today, it's just over 254'. We may have a low water summer.
254 is a little behind schedule for summer pool but its no where near to low water. I love the spin you guys like to put on it though. Sardis, Enid and Grenada all need a little water to reach full summer pool and since they start raising butla today and its already over summer pool all 4 lakes are in good shape.Quote:

I am south of Sherman and just west of Tupelo and we got a flood
If you put in at Engineers Point and troll the main lake, Sardis is fine. If you fish the back of the creeks and the upper main lake, there are still a lot of shallow mud flats at 254'...no spin intended!Quote:

Guess I dont consider 75% full as low water. I fished up at Blackwater and out in front of Hurricane landing last week and thats 15 miles from Engineers and there was plenty of water. Considering you never say anything put negative comments about the water levels its hard to believe you werent putting a spin on it but then again some folks will never be happy.Quote:

Plenty of water to fish right now, just have to have an idea where the shallow places are and steer clear. I am thinking slough and 10 feet of water, but everybody has an opinion.
You do understand Sardis was made strictly for flood control and as a bi product of this one of these best crappie fishing lakes in the US exist. No flooding = no need for a flood control reservoir = no Sardis. So which had u prefer A. Flood control reservoir that drops levels 24ft per year or B. No lake period.Quote:

Handi your comments are out of line towards pops. He simply made a comment about the lake might be low this summer. Then you take it to another level. Ease up on the man. Lakes about 25 miles long there is a deep end and a shallow end. He didn't put a spin on it. You travel far enough east at 260 and you will run aground. Common sense that's all. Some folks just don't got it.
Hotrod, you trying to be special again????
