JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is reviewing regulations of the Wildlife Code of Missouri regarding gigging on Ozark streams and wants public input through a brief online survey regarding timing of the season, season length, and comments.
Share input on gigging on Ozark streams through the MDC homepage at mdc.mo.gov under GIGGING FEEDBACK. Please take the survey by June 15.
Gigging consists of spearing fish rather than catching them with a hook and line. It is primarily a nighttime activity and is most effective in shallow, clear water. Learn more at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing/get-started-fishing/fish-gigging.
