: ?Arkabutla: ?Water level 229.97, falling 0.05 ft/day, muddy to murky. For water level information, call (662)562-6261 or check http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/riverstage/bullet.txt The lake has finally started to fall. Several ramps are underwater and/or you launch off the road or parking lot. Best luck for crappie lately has been slow trolling jigs and/or minnows in 12+ ft of water. Fish worms or stink baits in the river and creek channels for catfish. For bass, fish spinnerbaits or soft plastics around cover in coves near the dam. The lake is 16.4 ft above rule curve. Fall drawdown has resumed with a target of 210 ft by December 1. See http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/offices/ed/edh/plots/arkaplot.jpg . Expect high water releases this winter. Reported by: MDWFP |

| About: -
Arkabutla
Lake is an impoundment of the Coldwater River and lies just east of I-55
near Hernando. It is the shallowest of the big lakes (Sardis, Enid and
Grenada)and the least affected by spring rises and fall drawdowns. Its many
creek channels and coves and the backwaters off the Coldwater offer excellent
bass cover. The bass fishing is excellent, and it rarely gets pressured.
Location: Tate & Desoto Counties, 7.5 miles West of Coldwater, off Coldwater-Arkabutla
Road.
