TroutCrazy.com - Your site for Missouri Trout Fishing 

This site was created with the intention of providing Missouri trout fisherman (and women) with a centralized place for information on trout fishing in Missouri.  It will also aid beginning trout fisherman on the types of things they'll need to get started and the strategies they might want to employ.
		Ideally, I am hopeful that it will provide a place where Missouri trout fisherman can freely come to post results and get feedback from others on the various rivers and springs around the state - what is working, what is not and any other miscellaneous information that out-of-towners may not be privy to. The fishing opens around 6 or 6:30 each day throughout most of the summer months but changes as the seasons progress.  A loud horn goes off each morning indicating to all the fisherman lining the shores that the day is open for fishing.

It is important to be prepared with rod and reel in hand and ready to be cast right at the opening bell as the fishing will never be better.  More times than not, your first few casts of the day will be as active as any you'll have all day. Having your line set up and ready to go and being out on the river for the opening bell are two keys to getting your trout fishing experience off on the right foot.

There are several different locations in Missouri where trout can be found.  Many of them are fed by hatcheries where large quantities of trout are released into the river each morning creating a golden opportunity for the eager anglers.  You will find information on most of the area trout streams throughout this site as well as other helpful trout-fishing related information. Before you hit the river on your trout fishing adventure, you need to find out what you’ll need.  Whether its tackle, a net, a vest, or waders, you’ll want to be well equipped before you embark on your journey. You can find everything you’ll need by clicking equipment.  There you can find our suggestions for what you’ll need to catch trout effectively (and comfortably).
