Photo courtesy of Bradley Sparks Fishing is allowed anywhere along Little River inside the Preserve if you have a valid Alabama or Non-Resident Fishing License. Children under 16 and adults over 65 are exempt from a fishing license. You can find information on fishing licences on Outdoor Alabama, the website for Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Seine fishing or fishing with nets is not permitted. Use of live or dead bait fish, amphibians, non-preserved fish eggs or fish roe are not permitted. Dumping of bait is not permitted. Canyon Mouth Park is the perfect place to fly fish. The clear water is easily accessible. A popular fish for fly fisherman is the Redeye Bass. It can reach up to 17" inches in length and has a small tooth patch on it's tongue. The most recognizable feature is the namesake red eye. The use of motorized boats is not allowed within Little River Canyon National Preserve. This includes trolling motors on boats. This is in part because of the endangered species found in Little River called the Blue Shiner. The blue shiner is in the minnow family and has a blue stripe along the length of its body. |
