They stock trout in the river here a couple times every year. I have never caught one though. No trout stamp necessary. Then I am using spinning gear and spinners. Lots of dudes with flyrods around me.

That reminds me. The way trout fishing is around me, makes me not want to go. The rules are a pain in the ass. Here in MO, if you find yourself fishing with a spinner and everyone else is fly fishing, you might want to check the regulations, because you are probably in violation. They get ridiculous. Fly only areas; artificial only areas; artificial only areas, but no soft plastics; bait only areas: rainbow only area; brown only area; area where you can keep 4 rainbow trout; area where you can only keep 1 brown trout; area where you cannot keep any trout; area where you can keep four trout of any species; areas where they can be any size; areas where there are specific sizes for rainbows and browns; etc... The area might only be 500 yards long sandwiched between two other areas and nothing is posted. It will state in the booklet something like, the area between the utility outlet in this town and Spring creek is a white ribbon trout area with the following specifications. What a giant pain in the ass.
