Missouri Angler Lands State Record Brown TroutBRANSON, MO Missouri angler Bryan Chapman was recently fishing with his son on Lake Taneycomo when he hooked a state record brown trout."I thought I was snagged on the bottom, Chapman says. I didn't understand what was going on.Just as the fish came up next to Chapman's boat, however, his line broke. Quick action with a landing net prevented it from escaping .Missouri Department of Conservation (DOC) employee James Civiello later certified the fish's weight at 27 pounds. Chapman's catch tops Missouri's previous record brown trout, a 26-pound, 13-ounce fish caught on Bull Shoals Lake in 1997.

Missouri Noodlers Want Hand fishing Area Expanded-A group calling itself Noodlers' Anonymous is asking the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the state Legislature to expand hand fishing, or noodling, opportunities for catfish. The MDC recently approved an experimental noodling season (hand fishing had never been legal for cats in Missouri), which begins this summer along limited stretches of the Mississippi, St. Francis and Fabius rivers. Noodlers, however, feel the area open to hand fishing is too small, thus concentrating all of the state's would-be noodlers on the same waters. The MDC says while it will make every attempt to address the concerns of hand fishermen, it must also work to balance their demands with a constitutional mandate to protect Missouri's fish and wildlife.

Missouri's Department of Conservation Has launched a 10-year management plan to increase the number of large bluegills (longer than 9 inches) in selected bodies of water. Fisheries managers will choose lakes with the best potential to produce big bluegills and test different management strategies/regulations to see which result in the best fishing
