The Missouri Department of Conservation is reminding people that noodling, which involves hand-catching mature catfish, is illegal.
Conservation agents recently discovered “noodling boxes” (see photo) at Pomme De Terre Lake, which are used to attract catfish for illicit fishing.
Residents are urged to report these boxes, which can include various items such as covered tires and water heaters, to officials.
