License/permits

Does my 9 year old son need a trout permit?  Pretty sure he doesn’t need a general fishing permit until 16 years old, can anyone verify that?

Anyone regardless of age needs a trout stamp if they are fishing on Lake Taneycomo above the 65 highway bridge. You can fish below the 65 bridge without a trout stamp but you cannot possess or keep trout. Catch and release only.

Looks like the cash cows, sorry, Elk Farmers, have made it a need for a youth trout permit, $5.

Youth Trout Permit

I was confused by that youth trout permit deal when they don’t need an actual fishing license. I renewed my trout permit online, but it wasn’t easy to buy one for a youth that hasn’t been in the system yet.  I’m headed down tomorrow, may stop and get him a license at Lilly’s when I pick up some hot baits.

It is sort of confusing. 2 members of my party in Sept had to buy the stamps to fish for the few hours we were there.

I think the phone app is the easiest way to go, just make sure you have the kiddo's SS# ready or no dice.

Just did it. You were right, it was pretty easy.

Same rule that applies to old folks, no general fishing permit but must have Trout permit on Taney or for winter fishing in the Parks.  I can fish all the trout streams without the permit as long as I don't keep trout. I don't need a hunting permit, but do have to have Deer and Migratory Bird if I hunt them. I think; but I always  reread the regs when in doubt, I have the Code bookmarked here https://www.sos.mo.gov/adrules/csr/current/3csr/3csr.asp

Yelp had to get my Trout Permit for the river.

Back when I was a kid there was 7 Kids in the Boat on Taney not a Trout Permit one for us. Agent was cool just said we needed one.

I still believe some buy Park Permit then fish the river for Trout.
