Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge

Refuge waters south of Mississippi Highway 8 are open to fishing year-round, offering opportunities to harvest crappie, largemouth bass, bluegill and catfish in Tippo Bayou and Long Branch. Boat ramps for both fishing areas are accessible from Highway 8. A fishing pier provides bank fishing access at the Long Branch ramp. Smaller gravel ramps can be found along Horsebarn Loop. Anglers must possess a valid North Mississippi Refuge Complex Hunting and Fishing permit.
