"Missouri is blessed with over a million acres of surface water, and most of it provides great fishing. Fly fish for trout in a spring-fed Ozark stream or trotline for monster catfish on Missouri’s Big Rivers. Our waters hold ancient paddlefish, wary bass and tasty bluegill–over 200 different species. About 40 of those fish species are the targets of anglers "- Missouri Department of Conservation
