Noodling …after years of urging by noodlers, and lopsided legislative support for easing up on handfishers, the Missouri Conservation Commission has approved an experimental handfishing season this summer. The commission agreed to a June 1-July 15, 2005 season, during which handfishers who have bought a $7 permit can use only their bare hands and feet to catch a daily total of five catfish. Fish under 22 inches long must be thrown back. Handfishing will be legal only along specified stretches of the Fabius, St. Francis and Mississippi rivers.
