<strong>Prentiss</strong> <strong>Walker</strong> <strong>Lake</strong>, formerly know as <strong>Lake</strong><br />
Ross Barnett reopened in 1997 after draining and<br />
restocking. It is one <strong>of</strong> 19 state fishing lakes operated<br />
by the <strong>Mississippi</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wildlife</strong>,<br />
<strong>Fisheries</strong> and Parks. Fishing for bluegill and largemouth<br />
bass is excellent. Expect the largemouth<br />
bass lake record to fall in the next few years. Two<br />
handicapped access fishing piers make fishing<br />
from the bank popular. The boat ramp can accommodate<br />
boats <strong>of</strong> all sizes.<br />
Sportfishing licenses and lake permits are<br />
required. Check posted regulations at the lake for<br />
permit fees.<br />
