Do you need a fishing license at a pay lake in Mississippi?
Yes. Residents normally need no license on private ponds, but if the owner charges a fee to fish, a Mississippi fishing license is required (unless otherwise exempt).
"Residents do not need a fishing license to fish in those waters, except when the owner of the lake or pond charges a fee for fishing, then a resident must have a fishing license to fish in those waters unless exempted under subsection (1) of this section."
