Anybody have an update on the repairs and refilling of Trace Lake? Thoughts on when it will be worth a 12 hour drive to fish it again. Thanks.

Last time I checked they have not done anything . My understanding if the person actually knows is that the spillway mechanism broke while trying to lower for further inspection .There is no time table as to when repairs will begin nor have they decided what needs to be done . Not much to show for amount of closure time . :juggle
MS good target date 2022 !!!!!!.
Talked to them last week....coach is right....nothing has been done water still going out....my neighbor took a ten foot boat over there and took a fwd atv to get it to the water. Anyway they do not know when repairs will start.

Heck, come fishing with me! Thousands of acres of untouched water! I'm always looking for someone to fish with. It's Lonely over here in the Delta!
Trace was a good destination for when we got sick of the cold and snow. Usually went down mid March before our lakes were free of ice and rented one of the cabins on the water. Caught some nice fish over the years and played a little golf but mostly got away.
If I was driving that far.....I would go to Sardis or Enid.Quote:

The real bummer is that when you buy the permit(150.00) for someone to go without paying , they still have to pay to park . My brother from Amory has to meet me outside the gate. May as well pay the extra two dollars .Quote:

We were heading west on I 40 and Jeffs phone starts telling us to get off on the next exit, I think it was Jackson, Tn. We couldn't get Lee to listen to the gps and not follow the directions he printed off the internet. We ended up driving clear to Memphis then backtracking to Tupelo. It's funny now but at the time it was anything but. I'm thinking that trip was way over 12 hours.
