Conditions : TIPPAH COUNTY LAKE: Bass - Bass fishing is good. Jerkbaits and soft plastics are both good options right now as bass are moving shallow for the spawn.

Crappie fishing has picked up some recently. Most fish being caught are in the 9-11" range. Jigs, minnows, and vertically jigged blade baits are all good options.

Bream fishing has been fair, but hasn't really taken off yet. Some quality redear can be caught tightlining worms along primary drop-offs and close to the creek channel.

No current reports on catfish. Making long casts out from points with tightlined worms and/or liver will be the best technique to use.

About: - Tippah County Lake first opened in 1974 and is one of 21 state fishing lakes operated by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. Known for its large shellcrackers and good catfishing, the lake also contains good populations of largemouth bass and crappie. In fact, the current state record shellcracker of 3.33 lbs. came from Tippah County Lake, and the former state record largemouth bass was also from Tippah. Three handicapped access fishing piers located along the shoreline and neatly mowed banks make this lake a popular choice with bank anglers. Presently, there are no harvest regulations for any species. However, statewide creel limits do apply. Sportfishing licenses are required to fish with the exception of July 4. Fishing permits are also required. Location: Tippah County, 2.5 miles north of Ripley on Hwy. 15, west 3 miles. Size: 165 acres Facilities: Boat ramp, boat rental, 22 camping pads with water and electrical hookups, Primitive camping, pavilion, picnicking and grills. Skiing: Saturday & Sunday afternoons.
