Trout Fishing at Spur Pond February 1, 2020 is opening day for trout fishing at Spur Pond on North Osteopathy Street in Kirksville! Some dedicated anglers have already been “testing the water” by catching and releasing trout before the season opens. Now that you can catch and keep your trout, be sure to obtain a fishing license—or an exemption—and trout stamp from the Missouri Department of Conservation by visiting them online at mdc-web.s3licensing.com or in person at the Northeast Regional Conservation Office, located at 3500 S. Baltimore St. in Kirksville! Catch and keep season lasts through October 31, 2020. For more information, contact Parks and Recreation at 660.627.1485!
Stay Safe on the Ice! Whether ice fishing for trout on Spur Pond, or recreating at local lakes, go out onto the ice at your own risk! Use the chart above as a guide for ice safety. Remember to never go out on the ice if an animal or person has fallen through: call 911 immediately! You can throw a floatation device, or reach out to the person with a pole. Always keep sight of the person in case they submerge! For more information, contact the Fire Department at 660.665.3734!
