| ALEXANDRIA, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites participants to a free commercial fishing clinic on the Mississippi River in Clark County on June 20 & 21. Commercial fishing and selling commercial fish are activities that have a long history in Missouri and are still enjoyed by outdoor enthusiasts today. At this program, MDC staff and members of Outdoor Skills of America will discuss all aspects of Missouri’s Commercial Fishing Program. People interested in commercial fishing who want tips on fishing with commercial fishing equipment and preparing commercial fish for use or sale should plan to attend. The program will include discussions on commercial fishing ethics, regulations, and fishery management. Participants will be introduced the basics of commercial fishing as multiple equipment types and styles of sets will be demonstrated as well as fish handling, cleaning, and care. The clinic is limited to 20 people and submission of an application is required. Individuals or groups no larger than four may register online. After registration you will receive an application questionnaire that must be returned no later than May 20. Successful applicants will be informed by May 23 via email. Applicants who are not selected will be placed on the waitlist in the event of cancellation. Please note that all participants younger than 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
