I did a quick gGoogle map search saw fellows lake and Springfield lake. Will be in town visiting family and wanted to fish a few hours if I can. If you've fished them lakes before do you need any other permits besides Mo state permit?

Don't know if you've done gone and returned but Fellows lake is iffy. It was alright ten years ago but then went to crap. I've since moved north for college so I don't know now. Springfield lake was never worth fishing. And there is a small park called Valley Water Mill, its been perked up alot since my old man fished it it the 80's but there is supposed to be 4lbers galore in there.
