Reopening of Lake Walthall Postponed

JACKSON- The September reopening of Walthall State Fishing Lake, near Tylertown, is postponed until further notice according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP).

"Due to complications from Hurricane Katrina, we have decided to postpone the reopening of the lake until we feel confident that we can accommodate the public safely and effectively," Assistant Chief of Fisheries Bubba Hubbard said.

According to MDWFP officials, the agency is shorthanded at many of its inland facilities while personnel from across the state are redeployed to the Gulf Coast for relief efforts.

"We will inform the public on a new reopening date as soon as possible," Hubbard said.
