Frequently asked questions
- What special fishing regulations apply at Perry Martin Lake (Great River Road State Park)?
- Perry Martin Lake (Great River Road State Park) carries one special-regulation overlay that overrides Mississippi's statewide 2026 rules. It reads: "25-acre Great River Road State Park lake in Bolivar County, 1 mi SW of Rosedale off Hwy 1 — a Mississippi River-corridor oxbow; black bass + crappie + bream under statewide limits (10 / day combined black bass, no minimum length); catfish 10 / day; rod-and-reel or pole only — no trotlines, juglines, or set hooks; State Park fishing permit required." Every overlay on this water body is listed in full above.
- Do I need a fishing license to fish Perry Martin Lake (Great River Road State Park)?
- Yes. Perry Martin Lake (Great River Road State Park) is in Mississippi, so a valid Mississippi fishing license is required just as it is anywhere else in the state, issued by Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks. The special regulations on this page change the bag, size, slot, or gear rules for Perry Martin Lake; they do not waive the license requirement. Free-fishing days and youth exemptions follow the statewide Mississippi rules.
- Do Perry Martin Lake (Great River Road State Park)'s special rules replace Mississippi's statewide limits?
- Only where they conflict. Mississippi's statewide 2026 regulations apply on Perry Martin Lake by default; the overlays above replace the matching statewide rule for the species or gear they name, while everything not specifically overridden still follows the statewide rule. When a water-body rule and the statewide rule disagree, the water-body rule wins.
