The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) invites you to grab your fishing poles and enjoy a fun day at Trace State Park! MDWFP Fishing rodeos are a great opportunity for youth to get into fishing. There will be goodies given out at the event and prizes given away for different fish categories. We are excited to welcome the community to join us this Saturday, May 11, 2024 beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Youth Fishing Rodeos features educational activities focusing on fish, fishing, and environmental concerns. These quality fishing experiences are provided in a controlled, safe environment. Our rodeo ponds are well stocked with channel catfish to meet our participants' expectations of catching fish. Fishing educational and technical information are provided by our Fisheries Technical staff, biologists from the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, and volunteer anglers. Boating safety information is provided by our Law Enforcement Bureau.
