Trout season to open on Friday at four state parks in Missouri

? Want to catch a rainbow? Gather your gear and come to one of Missouri’s four trout parks Friday.

Approximately 29,000 rainbows and browns will be available for pursuit on opening day of the trout park fishing season.

All anglers must buy daily trout tags. The tags, sold only in the parks, cost $3 for adults and $2 for children under age 16.

Missouri anglers aged 16 to 65 and nonresidents also need valid fishing permits to cast lines in the trout parks.
