YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

Fishing is a very popular activity at Corps of Engineers' lake and river projects. From family fishing to high profile tournaments featured on ESPN, opportunities abound to sport fish. Whether you're looking for bank fishing or boat fishing, bass, bream, trout or catfish, the Mobile District has a fishing spot for you. 

All state fishing guidelines apply on the lakes and rivers managed by the Corps. Displayed below are links, listed by state, to fishing regulations, licensing requirements and state records. Project areas crossing state lines are listed under both states. When you venture out, make sure you know which state you are in to ensure compliance with all state regulations.
