- Open during listed seasons
License and access permit
A Missouri fishing permit is required unless an age/residency exemption applies; purchase it directly before fishing.
When you can go
Use the official area rules for current species seasons, legal hours and any area-specific closures. This record does not confirm access for a particular date.
Area restrictions
Follow the MDC regulation board at the lake and any local park hours. Individual lakes have distinct fish limits; winter trout rules are additional and are not included in this listing.
Plan with the official agency
The agency identifies this named water for ordinary public recreational fishing. The cited rules use a directly purchased fishing license or lake permit, rather than a draw, for the listed fish. This classification excludes special events and camping reservations.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
Agency sources reviewed 2026-10-07. No-draw classification is an inference from the official public-fishing listing and ordinary fishing licensing rules. Use only the public access shown by the agency; a listing does not authorize crossing private shorelines. Public entry is arranged with the agency, with no Back40 booking fee.
