Lake Bill Waller is continually monitored by Mississippi biologists to maintain the production of trophy and eating-sized fish, with a
catch and release focus. Manager Tim Barber described their efforts: All the bass 18 inches or longer must be released back into the lake. We also encourage anglers to keep 15 bass, 18-inches and under, per person per day. Some of the fish less than 18 inches weigh from 2 1/2 to 3 pounds each, which are really good eating-size bass. We encourage our fishermen to catch and eat these bass to keep the lake in balance. ==References==
