Lake Mike Conner Depth Map

Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Fisheries Biologists use various sampling methods to assess the fish populations in the State’s waters. Sampling results for selected water bodies are summarized in Reel Facts Sheets

New fish attractors were at this lake to improve fish habitat.  The brush piles were added in various depths, but most are located in 3 - 6 ft. of water.  Five brush piles were sunk on the levee in 15 - 20 ft.  Below are GPS coordinates for some of the sites.  Be sure your GPS is reading decimal degrees (shown below) and not degrees-minutes-seconds when locating these attractors.
