Wanna See How Missouri Trout are Made?

Trout aren't native to Missouri.  It's a hard, ugly truth and I'm sorry if that is news to you.  However, thanks to the Missouri Department of Conservation, there are many opportunities to fish for trout in the state of Missouri however.  Between winter trout stocking in lakes to the north, trout parks and stocked streams in the south, and maybe the crown jewel, Lake Taneycomo in Branson.  (On a side note, did you know that the name Taneycomo comes from the fact that the lake is located in Taney County Missouri?  There's a little nugget that you can share with your fishing buddies.)  So if you have ever wondered how these trout end up in lakes and streams, you might be interested in this program that is being put on by MDC.  

It is a family friendly event that will be virtual as well as free.  Participants will be able to ask questions via chat.  The presenters will be broadcasting from the Shephard of the Hills Hatchery in Branson, Missouri.  If you have never been to this facility, it is a pretty impressive operation.  Registration is required so make sure you click on the link below.  I'm thinking that this might be a good program for me to view with my young kids, so maybe I will see you there...virtually!
