emjay Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Looking to make my first trip down to the Powersite. I'll be scouting from the Powersite Dam to Swan Creek. What are some rules and regulations a new fisherman to the area should know about? Also can someone explain the trout permit even if you're not fishing for trout?
Wayne SW/MO Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Not sure what you mean by regulations, concerning what? There's not much to scout if you're talking water, its pretty straight forward and mostly riverine. You won't need a trout permit there. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Sam Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 If you catch a trout and didn't buy a trout permit, just throw it back unharmed. Walleyes have to be 18" to keep, and the limit is 4, crappie have to be 10" and the limit is 15, no minimum size on white bass and the limit is 15, largemouth and smallmouth have to be 15", spotted bass have to be 12", and it's been so long since I kept a bass I can't remember what the limit is. 6 maybe? Fishing licenses expired the last day of February, so make sure you've got a new one. That's about all I can think of.

Sam Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Forsyth Chamber of Commerce I don't frequent Forsyth since the Fox and Turtle went belly-up. Man, I miss those breakfasts! Anyway, I left plenty of time and money behind there last week when my truck broke. I'm trying K Dock again in the morning. It'll be a high-pressure, sunny, bluebird day, and the cows are laying down. I don't care, I'm ready to get out whether I catch anything or not.

Things like limits, no fishing zones, etc. I have never fish the bullshoal's area of missouri before. The only time I have fished down there by the branson area, I remember seeing an artificial lures and flies only sign. Thanks sam, just the info I was looking for. Also- please note you can pick up all the gas, groceries, and bait while you're in Forsyth. There's also a couple of nice eating establishments. signed: Forsyth Chamber of Commerce Well do.
Forsythian Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Good fishing to you all... I'm gonna head to Elbow on Sunday. Cenosillicaphobiac
