Can you catch them all? Missouri Wild Trout Challenge

If you happen to find yourself anywhere in the Blue Ribbon Circuit of Missouri’s wild trout waters, keep your gaze low as that gravel crunches underfoot. If you look long and hard there is a good chance you will run across little fragments of my dental records speckled along the hallowed hollows of the Ozarks. Countless sessions of getting my teeth kicked in by fickle finned trout built up my angling foundation. Ladies and Gents, this is where it all started. This is where I cut my teeth. Ground zero of the occasional outing with friends and family turned into a fiery passion and borderline obsession. Clocking in dawn til dusk sessions became a regular occurrence no matter the season. Come to think of it, the Ozarks are the exact reason I am typing and you are reading (very meta). When I pass, I pray Valhalla is a gravel bar and a sunny sky somewhere in the Ozarks. If only to take a deep breath of humid summer air and relive boyhood memories one trout at a time. I will forever hold Missouri and her wild trout streams so very close to my heart no matter where I end up.

If nobody knows.. then no one will care. Fishing related challenges are a great way to raise awareness for the land and water anglers like to explore. The Missouri Blue Ribbon Trout Slam is a perfect example of this. Missouri is home to nine total Blue Ribbon streams all throughout the state. The Missouri Department teamed up with local Trout Unlimited chapters to make this challenge a reality. Any angler in the area should consider themselves lucky that we have so many options to chase wild trout.
