Border Lakes Permit (BLP)

[*T*]

You need a MO Resident Fishing Permit to be able to buy a Border Lakes permit?  Don't think so if you are 65+ or have a Lifetime Permit.

Here’s what I do. Although I don’t have to buy the MO Resident license because of my age, I still purchase it so I can also purchase the AR/MO border permit. Together they were only $22 last year. I haven’t bought mine this year yet but I will by the weekend.

Mike you don't have to have the fishing permit to get the border permit, I don't have the fishing permit to get the trout permit either. Your drivers license or other ID that shows your age is all that is needed.

I believe that is determined by the lake boundaries established by USACE .  Done by elevation, not geography. 

edit;

(5) Impoundments and Streams.
(A) For purposes of these rules, the arms
of  major  hydroelectric  or  flood  control
impoundments will extend to the lake contour
that is commonly referred to as conservation
pool, multipurpose pool or normal pool, or
to  specific  locations  identified  by  posting.

 

 

 

You are correct. I'm pretty sure one can go up the Kings past MO/AR sign at 915' but with no marker(to my knowledge) to determine where that line explicitly is then how do you determine how far you can go? Add in flood pool and I would certainly see where someone could get quite a ways past 915' and think they are covered. 

I know James River is covered as there is a defined point but I don't know that they are all that clear.

What about Long Creek and major creeks on Bull Shoals?

Can't fish above housemans with just the permit

tjm, thanks for the information. I guess you just saved me some $$ this year.

Response from AGFC today;

 

Thanks for your question. Yes legally taken fish  may be transported through our state with the licenses you stated.  As long as the fish also meet length and limit numbers specific to the body of waters where the fish were taken.

The boarder lake permit will work up the Kings. You can launch at Grandview or even Barryville and float to 86 no problem. 

I currently have a friend offering float trips and the warden told him no prob as long as you have the Border Lake Permit.

Ok, adding another question, Beaver Lake is the beginning of the White River Chain of lakes, correct?

Then will the White River Boarder permit work on Beaver Lake, I am a Missouri resident and have MO fishing, trout and WRB permits. What do I have to get to fish Beaver Lake.
