Registered bait dealers help protect Missouri's fishing waters

Collecting your own bait?
Review the Live Bait Regulations, and always collect bait in the area where you are fishing. When you’re ready to go home, be sure to throw unused live bait in the trash so your favorite fishing waters stay healthy and productive.
