Mutton Creek Fishing Dock

[beagle man]

I pay the fees, gladly, worth every penny to be able to fish when and almost anywhere I want,

as far as the fishing docks go, never did like them, never was good enough to catch verry many if any fish from them, use to fish them in Oklahoma a lot when I was young, did not like them eaven then,,,, hope Mutton Creek never goes back to one.

Don't sell the fishing docks short. A lot of people use them because they either don't have a boat, are handicapped and can't bankfish, or need to be inside because of the weather. I have seen a lot of times that the dock at mutton creek was so crowded that there was no room for anyone else to fish. There was also a lot of fellowship there. Seemed like everyone seemed to have a good time just visiting with each other even if the fish were not biting. We always were trying to help each other catch fish by sharing techniques and sometimes lures.

I sure enjoy my Lifetime Hunting and Fishing license that I bought in Oklahoma in the early 90's - I am definatly getting my moneys worth, just wish I could get one for Missouri

I also purchased a Lifetime Fishing License in Oklahoma several years ago. It cost $275 but I figured the cost per year would average out around $10 per year based on my age. I understand that Oklahoma did away with the Lifetime permit. Fortunately, I got one for my wife too before they quit.

You can get a Lifetime Fishing license in Missouri as well but it isn't worth the price unless you are less than 16 years old. It is $275 for under 16. If you are over 16, it is cheaper to buy the yearly permit since you only have to have a permit til your 62. What kind of marketing stragedy is that? I am 49 years old so I only need to buy 13 more permits. At $11 per permit, that only will cost $143. I think the Lifetime permit would cost me about $175. Of course the yearly permit might go up some but I guess I will take my chances. I did purchase a Lifetime permit for my daughter before she turned 16 and I plan on doing the same for my son before he turns 16. I can't believe that a permit for someone less than 16 is only $275 but the permit for 16 and up is $400. Go figure!

You mean 65, don't you? Sixteen more permits.

That is a good idea to buy them for your kids. I have read about it, but never really considered it. My kids are still a bit young but it may be an option.
