Purchase Your Fishing License First
A valid Mississippi fishing license is required before you can add a trout stamp. Purchase your license online at Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks's website, at a licensed sporting goods retailer, or at a regional agency office. Licenses are available for residents and nonresidents.
3
Add the Trout Stamp
No separate trout stamp purchase is needed. Your standard fishing license covers trout fishing.
