Ever since 1966 when Ross Barnett Reservoir filled, anglers have seemingly had a love/hate relationship with the lake.
Nonetheless, Ross Barnett ranks as a favorite bass fishing spot for many fishermen throughout the South.
Some local anglers who know Ross Barnett well actually prefer to fish when the weather is at its worst because they say it tends to position bass very specifically around stumps and in the pockets of standing timber and thus narrows their search considerably.

 Thank you, Ross Barnett (Signifying Nothing: Tell 'em about it, Joe-Joe!)
William Faulkner famously wrote that ”[t]he past isn’t dead; it isn’t even past.” And certainly there have always been those who refused to let the past die, the titular single-term governor of Mississippi, whose name—probably forever—stains the reservoir from which Jackson (70% fl) gets its drinking water, chief among them.
The poisonous atmosphere fed by Barnett and his ilk led to the riots at the University of Mississippi over the admission of James Meredith to its law school and the murders of the “Philadelphia Three” civil rights workers.
He certainly wasn’t the first or the last to contribute to this atmosphere—senators Bilbo, Stennis, Eastland, and (arguably) Lott did their fair share as well—but he has the singular distinction of being front-and-center during the worst of it all.
