Celebrate Freedom with Free Fishing Day

LAKE LINCOLN — The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) is excited to announce Thursday, July 4th is a “Free Fishing Day”, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy fishing without a license on any public water throughout the state. MDWFP encourages residents to take advantage of this opportunity and visit one of our 18 state lakes or 18 state park lakes while creating lasting memories and fostering a love for fishing and conservation. Free Fishing Days are a great opportunity to try out fishing for the first time, or for seasoned anglers to introduce someone new to the sport. Please note that while a license isn’t required to sport fish, permits to fish at a state-owned lake will still be required. For more information regarding hunting or fishing in Mississippi, visit our website at www.mdwfp.com or call us at (601) 432-2400.
