Each year, Missouri designates the weekend after the first Monday in June as Free Fishing Days (June 8-9 this year) to encourage people to sample the state’s abundant fishing opportunities. During the weekend, anyone can fish in Missouri without having to buy a fishing permit, trout stamp or trout park daily tag. Normal regulations, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler can keep, remain in effect. Some private fishing areas still require permits, and trespass laws remain in effect on private property. Cover and photo at left by Jason Jenkins Public fishing areas are available in every county in Missouri. Many state-owned fishing areas also have special facilities for anglers with disabilities. So borrow a neighbor’s rod and reel and head to your local waters. To help you get hooked on fishing, the Missouri Department of Conservation has developed a free app for your mobile device. “Find MO Fish” shows you a map with the locations of public boat ramps on the state’s major lakes, rivers and streams. The map also shows you the exact location of underwater fish structures that MDC has established as habitat for fish. With the app’s geo-location feature, you can guide your boat right up to these structures and start fishing. “Find MO Fish” is available for both Android and iPhone; read more online at www.mdc.mo.gov/node/15421. To learn more about Free Fishing Days events in your area, visit www. mdc.mo.gov/node/3675 or contact your local MDC office. To order prints of the cover, see page 39.
