Hunt squirrel and catch and keep black bass beginning May 25.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Hunters and anglers can add fresh wild
game and fish to their Memorial Day menus. The Missouri
Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds Missourians that
squirrel and black bass seasons open May 25, the Saturday before
Memorial Day.
BLACK BASS
Anglers may catch and keep black bass, such as largemouth,
smallmouth, spotted/Kentucky bass, May 25 through Feb. 29, 2020,
in most streams south of the Missouri River. Black bass can be
caught and released legally throughout the year anywhere in
Missouri, and legal-sized bass may be kept all year long from

black bass is six. Fish taken from most rivers and streams must
be 12 inches long. Additional specific regulations may apply to
specific waters or areas. Anglers must have a valid fishing
permit or be exempt.

Piasa Palisades Nature Hikes: Hill Prairie Series
Every Tuesday, Jun 4 - Jun 25
Piasa Palisades Nature Hikes:
Hill Prairie Series
100 Palisades Pkwy, Grafton, IL 62037
Join the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC)
on a Tuesday in June for an exclusive look at the Palisades
Nature Preserve. This property, offering breathtaking views of
the Mississippi-Illinois River confluence from the bluffs
overlooking the Great River Road, is owned by the Lewis and
Clark Community College Foundation and managed by NGRREC and the
Great Rivers Land Trust in cooperation with the Illinois Nature
Preserve Commission, and it has never been open to the general
public. NGRREC will provide the public with its first look at
these ecologically important ecosystems through guided hikes
offered each Tuesday in June from 6:00pm – 8:30pm, culminating
in a chance to catch spectacular sunsets over the river from the
150ft-high blufftops. Hikes will be led by Palisades Manager and
Field Biologist Megan Cosgriff and will focus on the remnant
loess hill prairie ecosystem present within this preserve, a
rarity in the state of Illinois and the surrounding region, as
well as the restoration and management efforts that go into the
preservation of this habitat. And, with any luck, the prickly
pear cactuses will be in full bloom.

Missouri Department of Conservation
News Release
Get hooked with MDC free fishing days June
8-9...........
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Want some free fun that gets family and
friends outside in nature? Get hooked on fishing with the
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Free Fishing Days
June 8 and 9. During Free Fishing Days, anyone may fish in the
Show-Me State without having to buy a fishing permit, trout
permit, or trout park daily tag.
Aside from not needing permits, other fishing regulations remain
in effect, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler
may keep. Special permits may still be required at some county,
city, or private fishing areas. Trespass laws remain in effect
on private property.
Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish, and Free
Fishing Days encourages people to sample the state's abundant
fishing opportunities. Missouri has more than a million acres of
surface water, and most of it provides great fishing. More than
200 different fish species are found in Missouri, with more than
20 of them being game fish for the state's more than 1.1 million
anglers.
Get more fishing info from MDC
For information on Missouri fishing regulations, fish
identification, and more, get a copy of MDC's 2019 Summary of
Missouri Fishing Regulations where permits are sold, or online

MDC’s free MO Fishing mobile app helps anglers find the best
places to fish in Missouri, access regulation information,
identify fish by species, and more. Anglers can also buy, store,
and show fishing permits right on their mobile devices. MO
Fishing is available for download through Google Play for
Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices. Learn more

MDC can help through its free Rod and Reel Loaner Program at

Users need to provide their own live bait or lures. For a list
of loaner locations, visit
MDC online at mdc.mo.gov/RodandReelLoanerProgram.
Need fishing lessons?
MDC’s Discover Nature-Fishing program offers a series of free

festivals April-June to celebrate 50th anniversary
These free events will commemorate the golden anniversary of the
St. Louis Urban Fishing Program.
St. LOUIS, Mo.—In 1969 the St. Louis Urban Fishing Program
started as a tentative experiment. That first toe in the water
has since evolved and grown into a vibrant program which has
been bringing fishing close-to-home for St. Louis residents for
50 years.
To celebrate the golden anniversary of 2019, the Missouri
Department of Conservation (MDC) and its urban fishing partners
are holding a series of family fishing festivals throughout the
months of April, May, and June. These events are free and open
to the public, and anglers of any age, both expert and novice.
MDC’s urban fishing partners include the Cities of St. Louis,
Ballwin and Ferguson, and St. Louis County. Each festival will
be hosted at a program partners’ lake on a Saturday and will run
from 8 a.m. to noon. The entire family is welcome, and no
advanced registration is necessary. Activities will include free
fishing instruction to help give newcomers to the sport a
kickstart.
The fishing festivals will take place at the following times and
places:
Saturday, April 27
•South Lake in Willmore Park, St. Louis
•Jefferson Lake in Forest Park, St. Louis
•O’Fallon Park Lake, St. Louis
Saturday, May 4
•Carp and Island Lakes in Suson Park, St. Louis County
•Fountain Lake in Bellefontaine Park, St. Louis County
Saturday, May 11
•Vlasis Park Lake, Ballwin
Saturday, June 8
•January-Wabash Park Lake, Ferguson
MDC will stock additional fish for these special events, so not
only will the fishing be fun, but the catching should be good
too. A valid Missouri Fishing Permit is required for anglers
between the ages of 16 and 65.

Missouri American Water MR340
Kansas City To St. Charles on the
Missouri River........
(Mandatory Safety Meeting,
evening of July 15rd)
Imagine a race across the entire state of Missouri, just you
and your boat thrown against 340 miles of wind, heat, bugs
and rain. This ain’t no mama’s boy float trip. This race
promises to test your mettle from the first stroke in Kansas
City to the last gasp in St. Charles. Just entering it will
impress your friends. Finishing it will astound them… and
winning it? Well, you always thought you were sort of a
legend anyway, didn’t you? It’s time to prove it.
The Missouri 340 is an endurance race across the state of
Missouri. Competitors will start in Kansas City and finish,
some of them anyway, in St. Charles. With numerous towns and
hamlets, the course offers plenty of opportunity for
resupply while enroute. The Missouri River is also
incredibly scenic and isolated in some stretches, with
wildlife and beautiful vistas to rival any river in North
America. But if you’re trying to win this race, you won’t
have time to enjoy any of it.

Blessing of the Fleet
August 17, 2019
Ahoy to all our seaworthy friends...
I am Rick Flier, President if the Blessing of the Fleet STL and
it's time again this year for our celebration of the 62nd year
of our organization and the gala events that keep the spirit
alive and well throughout our boating community.
As in the past few years, under the leadership of Darryll and
Maureen Weil, we are contacting our great friends and businesses
to see if donations for the BENEFIT for the Blessing, taking
place at Grafton Harbor at 1pm, on July 27th, 2019 would be
possible.
The Blessing parade will start at 1pm, on August 17th, 2019 with
lead boats leaving from The Yacht Club of St Louis and heading
downstream, and leaving from Alton Marina and heading upstream,
to join at the Our Lady of the River shrine at 2:15pm for
commencement of the ceremony. As always, decorated boats will be
judged as they pass by the judge's stand - the theme has yet to
be determined but notification will be made to everyone as soon
as that has been established. Your generous donations and
support have helped keep the heartbeat alive and active and
hopefully we can count on you to help this year as well.
Sincerely,
Rick Flier
President
Blessing of the Fleet, Inc.

Neighbor Nights
National Great Rivers Research &
Education Center
Mississippi River at Alton, IL....
Neighbor Nights is a community event
series at NGRREC held on the first Tuesday of select months
throughout the year. Neighbor Nights is a great time for you,
our river neighbor, to come and learn more about the great
rivers of the world, the watersheds that feed them, and the
communities that use them. It’s also an opportunity to
participate in public tours of our LEED certified field station,
get behind-the-scenes laboratory access, or enjoy hands-on
activities. Limited free food and beverages will be provided.
We are excited to announce that Schlafly Beer will be partnering
with NGRREC for our 2019 Neighbor Night series! This means that,
while you hear from NGRREC staff about their work and learn
about river-related topics, you can enjoy free Schlafly
beverages. Both Schlafly Beer and NGRREC are committed to
environmental sustainability, so the partnership was a natural
fit. And, we can’t wait to bring this partnership to you!
Each month offers something different and highlights a unique
project led by one of our researchers, educators, or
conservationists, so make sure to check out this year’s topics
and come see us for a few of your favorites!

Mississippi Earthtones Festival 2019
300-500 E. Broadway, Alton, IL
Details
The Mississippi Earthtones Festival, co-organized by Alton Main
Street and the Sierra Club, is a celebration of our river
through art, music, and conservation. This 13th Annual event
falls on September 21st, and will attract thousands of people to
Broadway, where the street will be closed to traffic between
Alton Street and Langdon Street from Noon until 10:00 p.m.
There will be several agencies on hand to teach consumers how to
incorporate more sustainable practices into their daily lives,
along with companies featuring Earth-friendly products and
services. A variety of fun and educational activities are
planned for families. Dozens of local artisans will offer their
nature-inspired, hand-made, and environmentally-friendly wares.
Wind-powered music will fill the air throughout the day! Come
hungry because there will be a great selection of local food &
beverages on site. Broadway businesses are preparing to roll out
the red carpet for the crowd, and a number of shops will have
displays and merchandise on the sidewalk.
There is ample parking for festival attendees in the Farmers’ &
Artisans’ Market parking lot, located at 501 Landmarks Blvd.;
guests can simply walk across the pedestrian bridge directly to
the event.
This festival is held annually on the 3rd Saturday in September,
as part of the State of Illinois’ “It’s Our River Day”
initiative to celebrate Illinois watersheds through education,
recreation and conservation
