Pickwick Question

Can you fish the whole lake with a MS license?

Your arent really fishing a lake so to speak, more of a river channel. Indian Creek (where yall are camping), Bear Creek (down river on the right side, cant miss it), and Yellow Creek (upstream and then to the left, cant miss it either) all can be fished with MS license. Yellow Creek turns into the Tenn Tomm waterway. If you dont know where you are stay in the markers. Very pretty place, worth the tip just for the boat ride.

You can fish into TN all the way to Pickwick Dam. Below the dam is not included in the reciprocal agreement. You can fish in AL to TN River Mile 224.8 at the mouth of Bear Creek, but not Bear Creek itself.

So you cant fish in Bear Creek on a MS License?? If not my bad, things may have changed a little since I was up there 10 years ago.

Here's a good link, shows what you can fish on MS license.

I'm reading from the TWRA regulations, MS might be different. Someone from MS might want to see how the reciprocal agreement is worded in the MS regulations.

Looks like you can fish bear creek with a ms license, but tn is limited to TRM 224.8. Seems weird that the boundaries would be different for the two. Whoever negotiated for TN got a raw deal.

We fished it some but I mainly fished over at Yellow Creek and would put in at Scruggs Bridge to keep fom running the river back up. Bama license aint but 53 or 54 bucks I think.

With MS license you can fish from pickwick dam to milemarker 226.6 at waterloo and bear creek to railroad bridge. Make sure where you are because alabama wardens dont play.

Bought Bama license this yr. to catfish Colbert ferry area . About 27 dollars for three day and about 47 dollars plus fees for annual .
