Water Level
Fishing on Chotard and Albemarle is always dependent upon the MS River level and movement. For best results on these lakes, always check the MS River report to know if the river is moving in or out of the lake and target areas of moving water for improved fishing. Fishing is typically best when the river is on a slow fall. For most boats, access to the river is almost impossible when the river is below 15 feet (Vicksburg Gauge).
The MS River gauge at Vicksburg has the river level on 3/22/2023 currently at 39.00 feet and the expected forecast projects the river to crest at 33.60 feet on 3/29/2023.
