Fishing at Fort Wilderness?

[Wendy_Darling_2001]

Hi
We are planning our second tent camping trip to FW this May. My boyfriend would like to bring his fishing poles, are there any restrictions as to where he can fish? We have seen people fishing over near the swamp trails, in the canals, and near the Meadow Trading Post. I knowm it is catch and release. Also, can you buy bait here?

thanks everyone,
Wendy

Yes, you can fish anywhere! We have the best luck using pieces of raw bacon! But, be sure to keep an eye on the bacon you're not using because those big white birds sneak up behind you and steal it! LOL!

Since Ft Wilderness is on private property, do you still need to get a fishing license?

No fishing license needed daughtersrus

I'm so glad someone posted on this!

Has anyone ever caught any good size fish fishing off shore?


My DH and Uncle are dying to do some bass fishing in WDW. I'm concerned that they won't see enough action from FW and I'm debating about surprising them with a fishing excursion. So did anyone feel satisfied enough with their fishing experience at FW or did it leave you wanting more excitement?

We have fished a few times and only caught little stuff. It's more the experience than anything else. However, maybe others will tell you differently. I may not be that good of a fisherman!
