Live water for the Magnolia State — the famous Delta crappie lakes (Grenada, Sardis, Enid & Arkabutla), the big rivers (Mississippi, Yazoo & Pearl), and the Tenn-Tom lakes. The USACE flood-control lakes and the big-river gauges run live; the others read as honest SNAPSHOT cards. Every tube shows the normal pool, the current level, the lake's two signature fish (hover for the species, click for 2026 tournaments), and a live bite gauge at left. Scroll down for the catfish rivers, the scenic float creeks, and the Delta's legendary duck water.

Mississippi is big-river blue catfish country — the lower Mississippi at Vicksburg, Natchez & Greenville, the Yazoo and the Pearl, giving up giants along with flathead & channel cats. Live river stage (ft) from NOAA, with the action and flood stages marked. Rising, off-color water turns the cats on. Hover a cat for the species; tap it for a guide.
Mississippi's clear, sand-bottom float water — Black Creek, the state's only National Scenic River, plus Okatoma Creek, the Wolf, the Bogue Chitto & Strong rivers. Live USGS gage height (ft); each tube marks FLOAT (minimum floatable), EXPERT (high water) and FLOOD. Hover a fish; tap it for an outfitter.
The sand-bottom creeks float much of the year; Black Creek & Okatoma are the classics. Always check the gage before launching.
The Delta is the heart of the Mississippi Flyway — flooded bottomland timber and backwater along the Big Sunflower, Yazoo & Tallahatchie rivers. Live river-bottom stage (ft) from NOAA, with WOODS (water in the timber) and HUNT (good duck water) marked. Hover a duck for the species; tap it for a guide.
The Delta bottoms flood into the timber as the rivers rise; duck season runs roughly late November–January.
