Missouri Smallmouth Alliance is a passionate group of smallmouth anglers that started back in 1992. Their goal was to work together to improve the quality of smallmouth through conservation efforts and education. Their mission statement is: Through volunteerism, to assist in the creation, promotion and maintenance of world class Smallmouth Bass habitat and fishing in Missouri and to educate the public as to the importance of and the significance of catch and release fishing for Smallmouth Bass everywhere. The club holds their meetings on the third Wednesday of the month at the MDC’s Powder Valley Nature Center in Kirkwood, Missouri. At the club meetings members go over fishing trip reports, discuss conservation issues, learn new fishing techniques, and hear tips for catching smallmouth bass.

Of course the best part of being a member of Missouri Smallmouth Alliance is fishing.  The club members have a number of outings where members enjoy fishing for smallmouth; in addition to the Spotted Bass Roundup and Ozark Rodeo.
