MDC reminds public to dispose of fish waste responsibly
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds the public to dispose of waste responsibly when cleaning fish. Each year, MDC receives numerous nuisance complaints of fish waste on the banks around public fishing accesses, especially during the paddlefish snagging season. It’s important for anglers to do their part to keep fishing areas clean for others to enjoy.
In addition to using trash receptacles, disposing of fish-cleaning waste back into the water is allowed. Waste should not be piled up near the water’s edge, and instead should be discarded into deeper water or in the flowing part of the stream. This assures waste cannot wash up to the bank or be concentrated in one area.
The paddlefish snagging season for Lake of the Ozarks, Harry S. Truman Reservoir, Table Rock Lake, and most other waters in the state runs March 15 through April 30. The season for the Mississippi River is March 15 through May 15 with a fall season of Sept. 15 through Dec. 15.
The Wildlife Code of Missouri states that extracted paddlefish eggs may not be possessed while on the water or adjacent banks and may not be transported. Disposing of paddlefish eggs immediately back into the water is allowed. A person cannot transport eggs to another location. This includes by boat to deeper water.
Paddlefish have several regulations to help protect them from poaching. Anglers may keep the eggs; however, extracted paddlefish eggs may not be possessed while on the waters of the state or adjacent banks, and may not be transported. If anglers wish to keep the eggs, they should be prepared to hold the intact fish on ice and remove the eggs from the fish later. Once the eggs have been removed from the fish, they cannot be transported to any other location. Learn more about paddlefish regulations online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/4gb.
Most species of fish have daily possession limits and disposing of an entire fish is not only wasteful, but a violation of the Wildlife Code. Entire fish cannot be tossed on a bank or dumped back into the water. Anglers fishing in Missouri waters should plan to use the fish they keep.
Maintaining public fishing areas for everyone to enjoy requires the help of all citizens. Anyone fishing in Missouri should be mindful of regulations and impacts to others.

Dusty was born on March 23, 1980, in Osceola, MO, but spent most of his childhood in Belton, MO, where he graduated High School in 1998. He was very creative, and loved to draw cartoons, cards, and character sketches.
Dusty was a talented musician with the God-given ability to play any instrument he could get his hands on. The guitar was his specialty, and he rocked it in several local bands over the years. Along with fishing, his happiest times were when he had a dog by his side and a guitar in his hands.
Dusty was preceded in death by his grandparents Jack and Peggy Delaney, grandparents Harry and Geri Banks, and Aunt Reta Delaney. He leaves behind his parents and siblings John Wickham of Marshfield, MO, Dana Banks and wife Courtney of Warsaw, MO, Annie (Wickham) McGuire and husband Brad of Clinton, MO, three nieces, eight nephews, two great-nieces, one great nephew, many other family members and friends.
