Questions people ask about Enid Lake
Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Enid Lake.
- Is it worth fishing Enid Lake today?
- 7 out of 10 — biting. Worth a cast. The strongest stretch is 9:21 AM–11:21 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level.
- What time should you fish Enid Lake?
- Today's major windows run 9:21 AM–11:21 AM and 9:45 PM–11:45 PM, with minor windows at 2:18 AM–3:18 AM and 5:17 PM–6:17 PM. Sunrise is 6:27 AM and sunset 7:35 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
- What is the water temperature at Enid Lake?
- No gauge on Enid Lake measures water temperature. US reservoir gauges report height, not temperature — so rather than estimate it, this page leaves it out and leans on the windows and the pressure trend instead.
- What is the water level at Enid Lake right now?
- 247.71 ft above NGVD-29, read at 3:00 PM from the Enid Lake gauge run by the USACE. Over 24 hours it is down 0.06 ft.
- Can you eat the fish you catch in Enid Lake?
- That is a health question and it belongs with the state, not with us. MS publishes fish consumption advisories through its health or environmental agency, and those are the ones that count. We give no eating advice.
- What size fish can you keep in Mississippi?
- It depends on the species, and several have slot limits rather than a simple minimum. Open to harvest today: spotted seatrout (speckled trout), red drum (redfish), flounder, sheepshead. Seasons here change mid-year by agency order, so the status is re-checked every morning.
