Fishing Opportunities in Northwest Missouri

Brandon Lyddon, Conservation Agent
Missouri has a lot of fishing opportunities for anglers to enjoy.  The Missouri Dept. of Conservation has many conservation areas with lakes, rivers, and ponds to fish.  You can go to www.mdc.mo.gov or use the free MO Outdoors app to find information about conservation areas like maps, regulations, etc. 

Some of the public bodies of water in NW MO to fish are the Grand River, Mozingo Lake, Harrison County Lake, Pony Express Lake, Limpp Lake, Worth County Lake, Missouri River, and Smithville Lake.  There are also private farm ponds that have fishing that require permission to fish. 

Fishing permits are required for public water fishing. They can be purchased at vendors across Missouri or online. To report conservation violations you can contact the OGT (Operation Game Thief) 24 hour hotline at 1-800-392-1111, you can remain anonymous and rewards are possible.
