Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has announced another free fishing day this Sunday, July 4th. Anglers will be able to fish without a license on any public waters. However, daily permits will still be required to fish any State Fishing Lake or State Park Lake.
MDWFP also announced that, starting July 10th, Youth Fishing Rodeos will return for the first time since 2019. Anglers 15 and younger are invited to participate in these free events for an opportunity to catch well-stocked lakes. A great way to introduce youngsters to the sport of fishing (even if it’s not fly fishing). The rodeos run from July through mid-November.
