Freshwater Fishing in Alabama

Support kids fishing, habitat and rare Alabama fish - click here

Whether you want to spend quality time with family and friends by fishing one of the Alabama reservoirs or enjoy the beauty while fishing an Alabama mountain stream, quiet wetland or Mobile Delta, Alabama is the place for fishing.  The Alabama State Public Fishing Lakes are great places to experience the thrill of catching big largemouth bass or bream in a secure setting.  The sport of Alabama bass fishing will challenge the most ardent competitor.  And pond sportfish management information will allow you to develop your own fishing paradise.

To support fish management and aquatic resources, purchase a fishing license.  To further support kids fishing events, aquatic habitat restoration, and rare Alabama aquatic animals, purchase a "Take a Kid Fishing" car tag.

For questions about a specific area of the state, contact the local District Fisheries Supervisor.  For general or statewide questions, contact Mr. Nick Nichols, Assistant Chief of Fisheries.
