Fishing Permits Waived Beginning Friday

The need for a fishing permit in the state of Missouri is TEMPORARILY waived by the Missouri Department of Conservation.  The waiving of the fishing permit or trout tag begins Friday, March 27th and runs through April 15th.

The MDC says all seasons and limits remain in place and will be enforced.

The MDC encourages you to find some time to be outside while complying with the health and safety recommendations for social distancing. MDC Director Sara Parker-Pauly says Fishing is a great way to get some much needed physical and mental health benefits during this stressful time.

MDC Conservation Areas remain open, but you are reminded to continue to practice social distancing.
