Trout Parks - Three trout parks are located
at state parks owned and operated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
The James Foundation owns and operates Meramac Spring Park. The parks are heavily
stocked and heavily fished. They are located at hatcheries and stocked daily
with rainbow trout from March 1 through October 31. Most rainbows stocked are
10 to 12 inches. Regulations vary in the four parks. Certain areas may be designated
for fly fishing, natural baits, artificial lures, or catch-and-release fishing.
Ask for details when buying your daily trout tag at the park, or contact the
Conservation Department. A Missouri fishing permit and daily trout tag are required.
A trout permit is required for winter fishing. Disabled accessible fishing sites
are available at the four trout parks.
