Gravois Mills Arm

[MOsmallies]

Life in "Gravi" ain't for everybody but it does tend to grow on ya. Most folks land here for various reasons and just kinda get stuck.

The fishing is good but not really any better than other arms of the lake.

Far from quiet during the Summer thanks to a growing number of party spots, there is certainly no shortage of loud oversized watercraft. And sadly there is not a single bank you'd consider picturesque in the entire Gravois arm. Homes along the shoreline range from Plain to downright Ugly in most areas, with houses built so close together that folks are able to smell what the neighbor is cooking for dinner.

The wildlife is mostly half-tame,inbred and retarded, resulting in more deer/turkey/squirrels/ect being killed with vehicles than rifles and shotguns.

The roads suck, and the lawmen treat everyone as if they are fresh out of prison.....So if by chance you ARE then you definitely won't feel "picked on or discriminated against".

If your wife likes to shop then be sure to keep plenty of gas in her car and a fist full of 5 dollar bills in the console for the Toll bridge cuz you can't buy anything here but tater chips, cigarettes, and day old bread. And no we don't even have a decent tackle shop.

Wow, responding to this post has really been a dose of reality for me. If you decide to buy a place in Gravi I think I have one for sale.

This is hilarious!!!! You had me rolling Wrench!

Yes it is funny unlessyou live in the middle of the the party places and have hit deer 4 times and 1 turkey and several squirrels. Only thing we have not hot is a Armadillo. Believe me they can do some real expensive damage to cars.

I have been fishing and hanging at the lake during my free moments for the last 50 years; my parents have always had a place on the lake. My wife and I are currently looking to buy a home to live in permanently in a few years and our search is centered on the Gravois and the Osage 0-6mm. As others have said, at times you need to give the lake to the big dogs but I will take LOZ over any other lake in Missouri with regards to a healthy fishery. The clear water the last few years, IMO, makes it even better. The lower end of the lake can't be beat for fishing in the summertime.
