Rainbow trout stocked in pond at Lake Lamar Bruce
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks stocked 700 rainbow trout into Lake Lamar Bruce near Saltillo, the only public water body in the state to offer fishing for rainbow trout. Anglers can harvest up to three trout per person per day with no size restrictions, using inline spinners, small grubs, and corn kernels. A valid fishing license and state lake fishing permit are required. The trout were provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery and stocked by the Bob Tyler Fish Hatchery. For more information on hunting or fishing in Mississippi, visit the MDWFP website or call (601)432-2400.

SUMMARY: The City of Jackson, Mississippi introduced a new paid parking program in early May 2024, featuring parking kiosks by SP Plus. Despite the new system, many residents are still adjusting. Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba believes the modernized payment method will boost city revenue for further improvements. Parking will now cost $1 per hour, with a two-hour maximum span to ensure availability. Operating weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., this initiative aims to enhance city responsiveness and business orientation. Long-term parking in garages or off-street facilities is encouraged, and drivers can use text-to-pay for convenience.
