Thread: Oxbow lakes

I just got off the phone with the MDWFP. The guy told me that “the whole area” would be a no wake zone. Nothing will be closed to fishing , although that is not what it says on their website. So when you get 2 conflicting statements from the same source, what are you supposed to do?

What whole area?????? It says recreational use is prohibited!!!
Wonder is Washington is in that no wake deal?

I specifically mentioned Washington and explained to him the difference between land locked and river run lakes. It’s sad when the powers that be can’t tell you exactly what the rules are. 601-432-2176. Maybe somebody can a different answer than I did. Bet if you talk to a different person, you will get a different answer.

Working on it right now for Washington, going to get it in black and white.
My understanding that around the banks and piers it will be no wake but out in the lake you can run. To me, this is the way it should always be.

the last time this happened, 2 years ago i think, it was no wake for the whole lake, at least on eagle, but you can still fish. the lakes aren't closed. i do i do know that hwy 465 closed monday. you gotta come in on steelle bayou levee maintenance rd. from the looks of the river forecast this will be the case for a while.

Well Murdock, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just hung up the phone with Officer Harvey, the game warden in that area, and he is currently putting up barricades at the boat ramps. Eagle Lake is CLOSED until further notice. Now that may change with the wind but I just got that starlight from the horses mouth.
