FISHING
People fish at Lake of the Ozarks. CHARIS PATIRES
REEL IT IN John Neporadny Jr. Special to Vacation News | USA TODAY NETWORK
Fishing is about as American as apple pie and baseball and there’s no better place in the midwest to cast a line than Lake of the Ozarks. Spend a day fishing from the dock or throw out a line while out boating with the family and you’ll discover why the fishing industry is booming. Heading out for a day on the water, a stash of fishing gear is essential as sunscreen. Fishing is a great experience to share with the kids whether you are an occasional or a more serious angler. For those in the latter group, here are a few tips for finding the perfect guide to share their fishing wisdom. Lake of the Ozarks is a haven for anglers. A good
guide can make the a guided fishing trip an adventure. For some expert advice we went to John Neporadny Jr., a local freelance writer, author and fisherman with over 40 years fishing the Lake of the Ozarks and whose work has been published innational and regional outdoor publications and websites over the last 40 years and counting.
Tips for booking guided fishing trip There are no guarantees in fishing even if you hire a guide. Although novices perceive guides as omnipotent fishcatchers, more experienced anglers know that even the best of these professional fishermen are only human and have no control over certain variables
that can turn your dream trip at Lake of the Ozarks into an expensive day on the water. However a good guide can find fish and help his clients catch fish most of the time. Through my years of outdoor writing, I’ve fished with plenty of guides — some very good and some mediocre. I even dabbled in guiding for five years at the Lake of the Ozarks until my writing endeavors drastically cut into my time on the water. Spending time on both sides of the guide/client relationship has given me some insight on how clients can find a good guide and what questions they should ask while setting up their guided fishing trip. Searching for the right guide requires some homework. The Internet is full of websites listing Lake of the Ozarks guides. A guided trip can be expensive in some areas, so you need to do some homework to make sure you get your money’s worth. The following tips provide some guidelines on picking the right guide and setting up your trip.

OUTDOORS “Mountain biking is an exciting way to experience the outdoors, and MDC and our partners have trails for cyclists of all skill levels,” said MDC Recreational Use Specialist A.J. Campbell. Mountain bikes offer trail users the ability to cover more distance than hiking, and experience more of Missouri’s diverse geography and ecological communities. Mountain biking also presents unique challenges and requires some preparation and planning to stay safe. Always bike safely on Missouri trails: • Make a plan and tell someone where you’re going and when you plan to return. • Wear a helmet. • Stay on the trail. • Use caution, manage speed, and anticipate trail obstructions. • Share the trail, announce when passing hikers, horse riders, and other trail users. • Prepare for bike repairs and other emergencies; pack food, water, sanitizer, lights, and anything else you may need if your trip takes longer than planned. • Maintain physical distancing, wear a mask when appropriate, protect yourself and others from disease by following health guidelines while on the trail, and while traveling to- and from your destination. MDC allows bicycles on conservation area roads and trails open to vehicle traffic, and on designated trails, except where posted. Conservation areas offer plenty of mountain biking opportunities across central Missouri, just a short drive from home. Learn more about these, and other mountain biking opportunities at nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/places, and download the MO Outdoors App for mobile devices.
Little Dixie Lake Conservation Area • Uses: Hike and mountain bike • Length: Approximately 6-miles; loop around lake • Surface: Dirt and gravel • Difficulty: Easy • Unique features: Views of Little Dixie Lake Located in Callaway County, about halfway between Columbia and Fulton. This trail system, blazed in red markers, can be accessed from each of the area’s five parking lots. This mostly wide, gentle trail is great for beginners and fam-
ilies. The north side features some sharp turns and gully crossings better suited for experienced cyclists. The area also offers fishing accesses and disabled-accessible privies. COMO Trail Association helps MDC maintain this trail.
Three Creeks Conservation Area • Uses: Hike, mountain bike, and horseback • Length: Approximately 5-miles total; multiple loops • Surface: Dirt, rock, and gravel • Difficulty: Easy to difficult • Unique features: Rocky creek crossings and views of bluffs Located south of Columbia in Boone County, accessible from several points off of US Highway 63. Approximately 5miles of multi-use trails travel through grassy fields, wooded hills and ridgetops, and the bottomlands along Bass, Turkey, and Bonne Femme creeks. Access trailheads from each of three parking lots on the area. Trails are open yearround, but users should exercise caution and wear hunter orange during firearms hunting seasons. The area also offers primitive camping at several trailside locations. COMO Trail Association helps MDC maintain this trail.
Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area • Uses: Hike, mountain bike, and horseback • Length: Approximately 12-miles total; multiple loops • Surface: Chat • Difficulty: Easy to moderate • Unique features: Bennitt Lake, restored woodlands and savannas Located northwest of Columbia in Boone, Howard, and Randolph counties. Approximately 12-miles of multi-use trails travel through woodlands and savannas. This gently sloped, chat surface trail system is great for beginners. Cyclists can access various trail loops of different lengths from several locations on the area. A portion of the trail travels near the area’s 48-acre lake. Trails are closed to bikes and horses during firearms deer hunting seasons, and before 1 p.m. during spring turkey hunting season. The area also offers fishing access, primitive camping, a shooting range, and disabled-accessible privies. The
Heartland Chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of Missouri helps MDC maintain these trails.
Hart Creek Conservation Area • Uses: Hike and mountain bike • Length: 2.25 miles; one way • Surface: Dirt • Difficulty: Moderate to difficult • Unique features: Long, steep hills and a viewing platform above the Missouri River Located northwest of Hartsburg in southwestern Boone County.

DAY TRIP
Daytrippin’ The waterways of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas Vicki Wood Special to Vacation News | USA TODAY NETWORK
Mammoth Spring is Arkansas’s largest spring and the second largest spring in the Ozark Mountains. It forms a 10-acre lake thanks to the dam in the middle of the park that once powered a grist mill. Hydroelectrics continue to take advantage of the waterflow at a rate of 9 million gallons of 58 degree water per hour. 24 | JULY 23 - AUGUST 5, 2021 | VACATION NEWS
Mammoth Spring State Park is about a three hour drive from the Lake. VICKI WOOD

DAY TRIP Native Americans inhabited the area and had a connection to the site long before European settlers arrived. Local legend says the spring emerged when a Native American chief was digging a grave for his son, who had died searching for water during a drought. According to folklore, the spring will gush forever in honor of the young man (Arkansasliving magazine.com). The spring cannot be viewed as it sits 80 feet below the ground, but there is plenty to view above ground at Mammoth Spring State Park, with a walking trail traversing the entire lake. Beavers, otters, ducks, and unusual birds abound in and around the waterways. Cool off in the air conditioned visitors center, where helpful staff can explain the park system, and direct guests to the town’s most popular shopping and restaurant locations. The Fish Hatchery at Mammoth Spring State Park is currently closed to visitors due to COVID. Wood’s River Bend Restaurant, which sits directly across Highway 63 from Mammoth Spring State Park, and Fred’s Fish House are two eating establishments that have quite a following in Mammoth Spring. Fred’s Fish House has been featured on the Food Network. Located at 215 Main Street in the historic downtown district, the affordable menu has a daily special, with crab legs on the weekends. Catfish and trout are also on the menu, but Fred’s is most well known for the peanut butter pie. Wood’s River Bend Restaurant is perched on the Spring River in a log cabin building with incredible views from the back deck, and its menu features barbecue, catfish, burgers and breakfast.
1886 Frisco Train Depot Incorporated in 1889, Mammoth Spring became an important rail road stop. Stroll through the oldest railroad station in Arkansas, the 1886 Frisco Depot at Mammoth Spring State Park. The Victorian depot displays sculpted life-like figures that portray the train and depot crew, and passengers in the 1900s era. Video displays share the history of Mammoth Spring. Exhibits of railroad artifacts are on display in the baggage room. The Frisco caboose outside is open to exploration, perfect for the little ones. Trains continue to zoom past the old depot, adding to the authenticity of the experience.
Historic Downtown Venture a few blocks east from the state park to the historic downtown district of Mammoth Spring. Check out the Main Street Boutique for the latest fashions, and St. Andrews Episcopal Church, a wooden building from 1888. Palace Drug is known to locals and visitors. It’s an old time drug store with a small sandwich counter eating area for fountain sodas and ice cream.
Trout Fishing the Spring River In the Mammoth Spring State Park trout fishing is allowed, but one must purchase a daily trout tag and the use of only one pole is permitted. Out on the Spring River, the water is crystal clear and cool, and brown trout abound. There are areas to the river with gravel bars and streams perfect for floating or canoeing. Endless cabin rentals sit along the Spring River, as well as canoe and kayak rentals.
The headwater of the Spring River provides power for the city of Mammoth Spring. More than 9.7 million gallons of water flows over the dam every hour. VICKI WOOD
Grand Gulf State Park Formed from a collapsed karst system, Grand Gulf State Park is located 10 minutes from downtown Mammoth Spring back over the Missouri State line near Thayer. It’s worth the detour from your day trip to Mammoth Spring. Breathtaking vista views above the “gulf ” make for some fantastic photo opportunities. Sometimes referred to as “the little Grand Canyon,” Grand Gulf was formed in a similar nature to Ha Ha Tonka State Park from a collapsed karst system. The “Grand Gulf ” stretches for about three-quarters of a mile between 130 foot high walls. Visitors can view the gulf from trails on top or from the floor where they can walk under the natural bridge, which spans 250 feet with a 75-foot-high opening (mostateparks.com).
Gateway Gap Rock N Roll Highway The sign says “Where Abbey Road Meets the Rock N Roll Highway.” US 67 earned its nickname as the Rock ’N’ Roll Highway in recognition of the numerous entertainers of eventual fame who came to the area. Musicians like Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Bill Rice, Booker T and various big bands and others played at the venues up and down this section of the highway. US 63 running from Mammoth Spring south through Hardy and 412 to Ravenden is a gradual, very scenic descent from the Ozarks to the Delta area west of Crowley’s Ridge. Notably, it goes through Evening Shade, namesake of the ’90s Burt Reynolds TV sitcom “Evening Shade.” m JULY 23 - AUGUST 5, 2021 | VACATION NEWS | 27

LAUNCHING YOUR BOAT
DAM TO DAM Connye Griffin Special to Vacation News | USA TODAY NETWORK
From Warsaw to Lake Ozark and Gravois Mills to Roach, boat ramps around Lake of the Ozarks provide free or modestly-priced public access to beautiful waters and great fishing. Most of these access ramps have restroom facilities on site and docks for drivers to tie up their boats. All have been permitted by Ameren, responsible for
private and public access permits. Lake marinas and some resorts also provide access ramps. Charges and public access by way of these ramps vary. The Missouri Department of Conservation provides details about these facilities by site name. In addition, two online sites provide printable maps for anyone interested in exploring many of the possible access points. These are: h MissouriGreatOutdoors.com/ lake_of_the_ozarks_boat_ramps.php

(with longitude and latitude data on each individual boat ramp map) and h FunLake.com/public-access -boat-ramps. Drake Harbor in the heart of downtown Warsaw on West Harrison Street is an expanse of green space giving way to asphalt trails and drives, boat ramps, and marinas. It’s a good place to launch for a dam to dam tour of the lake’s beautiful coves and curves. (Not located on either printable map cited above)

Marketa Marikova-Thompson shares her grandma’s recipes and Bohemian heritage with Lake of the Ozarks. MITCH PRENTICE
Bohemian baking B RO U G H T TO T H E L A K E Czechoslovakian native brings authentic Bohemian baking to Osage Beach Mitch Prentice Special to Vacation News | USA TODAY NETWORK
The thought of travelling half-way around the world to live in the middle of Missouri might seem a long shot for many European residents. For Marketa
Marikova-Thompson, that long shot became reality. Fast forward to 2021, Marketa decided to open a farmers market booth alongside her partner William selling authentic Bohemian pastries and baked goods. The route she took to get to this point is anything but ordinary, but the shoppers who have tasted her treats are glad it happened the way it did. Marketa grew up in Czechoslovakia, which is now the Czech Republic. She says she began baking at a young age with her grandmother and cousins. She says her grandma would work the fields around their town then come back to their home to cook and bake.

A selection of baked goods that can be found at the Osage Beach Farmers Market on Saturdays. MITCH PRENTICE
“We would bake every Saturday. It wasn’t really a weekend until we had cake,” Marketa said. Working in the kitchen with her family led her to want to become a baker fulltime, but she says her mother convinced her to become a cook instead. “My mom said that if I were to become a baker, I would only bake. But if I decided to cook, I could bake as well. So I became a cook and never ended up baking again until I started again during this farmers market,” Marketa said. Marketa says that, after years of cooking, she went on to become a geriatric nurse. This would be the profession she stuck with until she made her first trip to the United States. She made the journey and met up with friends in New York. She says that the ease of travel in the US kept her coming back on a yearly basis. She says she ended up traveling to over 25 states. On many of her trips, she says she
travelled the country alone. During a trip in Virginia, she met William who she would eventually move to Missouri with at the end of 2019. She says that one morning she decided to try baking some old recipes again and was successful. She says that William talked with her about starting to bake again and the idea came together to sell at the Osage Beach Farmers Market. Now, halfway through the market’s 2021 season, the baked goods Marketa is producing have been a hit. The vendor stand she and William manage is constantly flooded with new and returning customers, no matter the weather. She says she will prep the baked goods four days out of the week and will start baking them around 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning before the market that starts at 9 a.m. “It makes me so happy. People come up and say ‘Oh, it smells so good’ and ‘Oh, these are so delicious’,” Marketa
said. Through all the long hours and early mornings, she says the customers make all the work worth it. Marketa partially credits the authenticity of the recipes and heritage behind the baking for the success she’s had. She noticed that, in the United States, residents tend to appreciate authentic cooking and baking. She’s considered opening a local bakery, but admitted that she would need help to launch it full-time. On top of that, the high-quality ingredients she uses to bake would be a costly endeavor. Even so, it’s certainly a possibility. At the end of the day, the joy of sharing her grandma’s recipes and the Bohemian heritage with Lake of the Ozarks market shoppers is worth all the effort. Marketa and William’s baked goods stand can be found at the Osage Beach Farmers Market most Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. m
