Bay Lake Fishing & Weather Report

Great content! Never realized fishing was available without any permit or fee. The question is: What can you do with the fish? Are they safe to eat? Where can you clean/cook them?

John is correct, catch and release only.
It takes a lot of pesticides and fertilizer to keep the WDW lawns looking great and bugs to a minimum. All of this washes into the canals and lakes.

I am interested in more information on fishing within Disney. We will be staying at Wilderness Lodge and will driving so bringing our own gear is possible. Can we rent a pontoon and fish from it on our own without paying for an excursion? Where does Disney allow guests to fish from shore? Are any licenses etc required? Thanks for any information you can provide!

Sadly no they won't let you rent a pontoon and fish from it.
No license is required.
You can take a boat over to Fort Wilderness and rent some fishing gear from the bike barn. There is a large pond right there you can fish. I know this sounds weird but bring/ buy some hot dogs for bait. They work better than nightcrawlers.
All fishing is catch and release only.

Happy Fishing!

In your opinion since we can't fish from a rented pontoon-are the fishing excursions really worth the money? It just seems so high priced to me! What could we expect to catch in the pond? My DD is only 5 so the pond will make her plenty happy, but my DS is 11 and has bigger expectations for his catch

From the pond...... brim, catfish and bass. From little to 4 or 5 lbs.

We have done dozens of fishing excursions. The least amount of bass was 2, it was freezing rain. The most was about 50. Both trips were in December. If you can get 5 people to split the cost, it doesn't feel so bad on the wallet.
