Doea anyine on here fish Flower lake? I had a neighbor 15+ years ago take me there during the winter one time. We were casting yellow and white tubes into what he called the blue hole and I bet we brought home 10 or so. I was just amazed of the fish we caught in the heart of winter.
Flying carp are dangerous over on the river, with that said most of the oxbows at good at certain levels.
Flower Lake is private now. Somebody with deep pockets bought it!
Thought I remembered that but I was not sure. Can they stop you from coming in by the river???Quote:

The Brownlow family owns it now along with 6600 acres around the Cutoff. I've sold them several boats.Quote:

Lakeview is owned by Insley Bottom Farms. They own the land under the lake, and any access is blocked off with barricades warning that any trespassers will be prosecuted. Thils info came to me by an officer of MDWFP who lives very close to me. They tried to work an agreement with the owners, but finally gave up. Prolly the same with Flower Lake.....if they own the land around it, they own the land under it also. This how it was told to me.Quote:

Really!!!! Wow I did not know that. I miss being able to fish both of those lakes. Had many memories of father son fishing trips from my childhood at them.
Me too!

I could be mistake because I was once. Think the only access to flower is through a cut that gets flooded between Flower and Tunica cutoff. Don't believe there is any real river access to flower. And think you would still be in trouble if you could make it plus if it is that high fish is not very good anyway. Miss both those lakes but not worth the agrivation to try and fish them.
think you are right Cray, I haven't fished up there in over 35 years!!
