Rules to know
Stocking begins in early November. At many lakes trout are catch-and-release only from November 1 through January 31, using flies, artificial lures or unscented plastic baits; from February 1 any bait may be used and 4 trout may be kept regardless of size. Some lakes allow harvest as soon as they are stocked, so check each lake's special regulations. A Missouri fishing permit is required (ages 16 to 64), plus a trout permit to keep trout.
