Members AFOSTER Posted January 28, 2011 Members Posted January 28, 2011 I am wanting to go tent camping in the park. the 18-28, will i need reservations? is it usually crowded that time of year? also ive been fishing in the park a couple times, all of which were in the zone that you can use powerbait (sorry i cant remember the zone names) my fishing technique has always just been using a ball of power bait on a small hook, casting out and hoping for the best. im, a beginner and have never really been taught how to fish for trout, do you guys have any beginner tips for me?
rcguy Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Welcome to the Ozark Anglers Forum. Best advise is just start reading the posts here and do some searches and you'll find TONS of info.
Gavin Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I havent been to Bennett in years...but we camp in the State parks allot...You can check for available campsites here... http://mostateparks.com/campres.htm It costs a couple bucks more to reserve online, so if the CG appears to be empty...head on down and take your chances with one of the first come first served sites or an un-reserved site. Cheers.
Members AFOSTER Posted January 28, 2011 Author Members Posted January 28, 2011 i dont see how you can check the available campsites off of that website? i see that you can tell which zones are open for the time of year, but not actually which sites are occupied. maybe im overlooking it? or its not up for the season yet?
Gavin Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Hit the "Make your Reservation Know Button"--->I know my park-------->Bennett----->Enter the info about your stay and check each Campground loop...Its a PIA, but thats the DNR reservation system. Cheers.
FlyFishinFool Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Or just call the park at 417-532-4307 and push the voice message button for lodging and camping. * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time. Then I remember what an old man told me... " Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown, fuzzy, about 1/2 inch long and underwater."
