The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has launched a new fish identification guide to help anglers identify 39 common species that inhabit lakes, rivers, creeks, and ponds across the state.
The guide provides detailed descriptions and images of each species, making it easier for fishermen to recognize their catches. It is available online at the department’s website.
Officials encourage anglers to use the guide to improve their fishing experience and ensure proper identification of fish species. The resource aims to promote conservation and sustainable fishing practices throughout Mississippi.
