FRESHWATER REGULATIONS
Management Area Regulations (FMA)
FMA Definition:
A fish management area (FMA) is a pond, lake or other
body of water established for the management of
freshwater fish as a cooperative effort with the local
county. The FWC's Division of Freshwater Fisheries
manages about 80 water bodies throughout the state that
are designated as Fish Management Areas. Examples
include most urban fishing lakes and
Commission-constructed impoundments. In many cases,
these lakes are stocked with channel catfish, largemouth
bass and sunshine bass. Automatic fish feeders and fish
attractors concentrate sport fish for bank anglers.
A freshwater fishing license is required for Fish
Management Area lakes. Also, special bag limits and
methods apply on these lakes.
