Mississippi encourages outdoor fishing trips this week

Mississippi officials are encouraging residents and visitors to enjoy the state’s natural waters this week. They emphasize that the most rewarding part of fishing may be the time spent outdoors rather than the size of the catch.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks recommends taking a break to relax and make a few casts at local lakes. The department provides a list of state lakes where fishing is available, which can be found at https://www.mdwfp.com/statelakes.

For those new to fishing, resources are available to help beginners get started. The department offers guidance at https://www.mdwfp.com/fishing-boating/just-add-water.

Officials hope that emphasizing the enjoyment of outdoor activities will inspire more people to explore Mississippi’s natural beauty and engage in recreational fishing.
