What Is Missouri Free Fishing Days?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake will host Kids Fishing Day on June 6 from 8 a.m. to noon for children ages 5 to 12 in celebration of Missouri Free Fishing Days on June 6 and 7.

Fishing Equipment Will Be Provided

Registration for the event is now open and will close at noon on June 5. Don’t have any fishing equipment? That’s okay. The Missouri Department of Conservation will provide fishing gear for participants, although attendees are welcome to bring their own equipment.

Why Fishing Creates Lasting Memories

Staff and volunteers will be on hand throughout the morning to help kids with anything they may need. This is a great opportunity for children to get outdoors and experience the fun of fishing without having to worry about the cost.

I still remember going fishing in the ocean with my uncle more than 20 years ago. I caught at least 30 fish that day, and it remains one of my favorite memories with him.
