<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Lamar</strong> <strong>Bruce</strong>, once known as <strong>Lake</strong> Lee,<br />
was opened in 1954. It is one <strong>of</strong> 19 state fishing<br />
lakes operated by the <strong>Mississippi</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Wildlife</strong>, <strong>Fisheries</strong> and Parks. Historically known<br />
for it’s tremendous bream fishery, the lake also<br />
contains good populations <strong>of</strong> largemouth bass,<br />
crappie and channel catfish. Renovations during<br />
the last two years <strong>of</strong> existing gravel beds and other<br />
fish attractors make <strong>Lamar</strong> <strong>Bruce</strong> a popular destination.<br />
Three fishing piers located along the<br />
shoreline provide good bank access. A new boat<br />
ramp accommodates 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 />
