Gavin Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 The Urban Trout Lakes around St. Louis are very popular until the the lakes freeze over. People have fun, and its a good way for MDC to show the flag in the urban areas where most of their 1/4 cent sales tax revenue comes from. I think its a fun program..no complaints here.
Members ladykiller Posted December 22, 2008 Members Posted December 22, 2008 I'm not saying it isn't fun, but it seems to me like a lot of effort and money spent for the actual amount of time it can be fished. Maybe our lake is not the perfect set up for it either. Hard to get to fish once they move deeper...
jdmidwest Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 All fish are to be caught out and consumed before the water warms up and kills them. That is the goal and it usually works that way. Opening day of Catch and Keep brings out the cheeser's like March 1 at the Trout Parks. I don't think it is the reason for the 4 limit.

ozark trout fisher Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 No problems with asking questions. I have been fishing for trout in MO for 25 years now and have spent alot of time with MDC and AG&F talking trout with them over the years. They are always open to suggestions and welcome any input. Next time you go to Montauk, go to the hatchery office and ask for a tour or give them a few questions. They are always happy to take time to talk to you. Thanks for the insight.
