Every year I grumble about the $19.00 fishing liscense fee here in Missouri. $12.00 for general fishing and $7.00 if I want to "legally" keep trout. For what it provides me and the rest of the Missouri anglers it's nothing really. Missouri isn't really known as a trout fishing state but that being said, there is a lot of trout in MO! There are six trout hatcheries here and one of them is the National Trout Hatchery and that doesn't count several privately owned hatcheries. That being said I have never been skunked because there just weren't any fish and for that I can thank only the fishermen of MO and visitors for paying for their fishong liscenses. Thank you!

By the way. Please forget that I mentioned anything about trout being in MO. It's just a rumor.
