JACKSON - The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) wants you to mark your calendar for National Fishing and Boating Week June 1 - 9, a national celebration of fishing and boating. June 1 and 2 are designated as “Free Fishing Days” in Mississippi, and any person may sport fish without a license. In addition, daily permits to fish at state fishing lakes and state park lakes are not required.
July 4 is also designated as a “Free Fishing Day” statewide, and anglers will be able to fish without a license on any public water. However, daily permits will be required to fish any state fishing lake or state park lake on July 4.
