Trout north of the Missouri River?

[JestersHK]

So I was always told there were no trout north of the Missouri River.  

I was doing some research on the Big creek in Foristell MO just outside St. Charles county and saw on one of the links to Hook and Bullet that they said there were Brown Trout in the creek?  Found an elusive post on another fishing website from a guy that said there are trout north of St. Louis, but he never said where.  I know they do the winter stocking programs at the lakes and such, but looking beyond that.

I am assuming with a spring fed creek you may get some areas which could sustain trout water temp wise, but was wondering if there was any truth to this?  Totally understand if nobody want to give up the secrets, but a confirmation would be great either way, and I'll be doing some on the ground investigation this weekend no matter what

As I recall, a state record brook trout of 1lb 14oz was caught near moberly on some creek.

Actually the state record Brookie was caught within 2 miles of my house by our old friend Cricket, but beings as how it was an obvious escapee from Troutdale it was immediately released and not recorded.

That;s neat. I will consider him the new  record  holder from now on.  I have caught a few below the trailer park in my time. Ever hear from him anymore?

Yeah we went crappie fishing this spring.  He's a busy feller.
