This two-day clinic will teach anglers techniques for catching catfish on Missouri's Streams & Rivers using alternative methods. Friday evening participants will be taken on the Mississippi River and shown how to safely set lines and navigate the river. Once off the river, there will be presentations on regulations, tactics and gear. Saturday morning, participants will head out on the river to check lines, learn about regulations, and hopefully harvest some catfish. A fish cleaning demo will be conducted upon return to the location. MDC staff and volunteers will offer instruction on the basics of setline fishing on Missouri’s rivers and lakes.
