THE LEBANON DAILY RECORD TROUT TALK OCTOBER 2014 PAGE 3

Trout Talk StaffA group of nearly 50 military wives

made its way to Lebanon and Ben-nett Spring State Park for the annual Friends of the Fort Spouses’ tour on Sept. 12.

Judy Fortner, director of sales for Fort Wood Hotels in the Waynesville-St. Robert area and former tourism di-rector for the city of Lebanon, served as the tour guide for the outing.

Fortner said the Fort Leonard Wood Community Spouses’ Club has an an-nual tour “season,” and the trip to the

Laclede County area is the first on the list each year.

The tour typically arrives in Leba-non for a little shopping and lunch at local establishments, and this year was no exception with stops at the Heartland Antique Mall and June & Beyond, as well as a stop at Harry’s Salon.

This year, however, was a little dif-ferent for the spouses than in years past with a trip to Bennett Spring State Park. While at the park, the

Jim Rog-ers, right, gives fl y fi shing tips to a mem-ber of the Fort Leonard Wood Spouses’ Club recently. The club traveled to Ben-nett Spring State Park as part of its annual day tour of the area.

We made it through a year with no fl oods on the stream. The water has been low and fi shing slow for spin fi shermen but excellent for fl y fi shermen.

When you read this article, the regular baseball season will be over and the play

offs will have be-gun. Hopefully both sides of our state will be rep-resented in the Fall Classic. Miz-zouri is off to a good start, and it looks like a fun October for trout fishermen and sports enthusi-asts.

I apologize for two mistakes I made in Trout Talk last month.

First, I have to apologize to

Katie Case for mistakenly reporting her sister Amy as the young lady who fi shed with us on a recent trip to Bennett. I guess old age is really catching up with me.

Secondly, I told you about a fl oat line threader I made. It was made of thin steel wire doubled over with a large bead glued to the cut so that it could be located in my vest pocket. Since it could only be inserted through the eyelet, the fl oat was upside down on the line with the peg on top. I thought the rig would fi sh the same in either position, but I was mistaken. The line wrapped around the peg.

I took the bead off of the wire and twisted the loose ends and soldered them

together. Now the threader can be pulled through the fl oat, and the fl oat is in the proper position on the line. To store the threader, I insert it in a fl oat, holding it place with the peg. Now it can be easily found and it is ready for use when a new fl oat is needed.

Fishing is a relatively safe sport, but there are always hidden dangers if you aren’t prepared. Previously I wrote about my grandson Nathan Steinkamp and his misadventures at Bennett when he was fi shing when the stream was high and muddy. He stepped off into a hole and went under. He had to be pulled out by his buddies. He should have been using a wading staff to feel for any drop offs. Lesson learned.

This spring, after graduating high school, the guys embarked on a summer of outdoor adventures before starting college this fall. After fi shing every creek, river and pond in the St. Louis area, they tried fi shing streams farther south.

Having watched the survival shows on television, they tried living off of the land. Supplied with a few cans of beans, a tarp for shelter, a ground cloth and fi shing gear, they fi shed the Roubidoux, the Little Piney and the Meramec at Cardiac Hill. They caught some fi sh, but most were not legal size and they went undernourished for three days.

Next, they researched some satellite maps and decided to try a remote loca-tion on the Big Piney. They found a little used road along the river where they could backpack into the river.

After spending a rainy night in their lean-to they went looking for some dry fi rewood and back to the truck to charge their only cell phone. The would have had another phone, but Nathan dropped his into a lake while on one of their frog hunting adventures the prior week.

The three guys headed out through the woods, taking turns leading the group. Nathan had just taken the lead when he

unknowingly stepped over a snake. The snake didn’t strike him, but got both of his buddies as they passed. They identi-fi ed the snake as a copperhead and knew they needed help.

They called 911 and gave their loca-tion. The phone they had didn’t have GPS capabilities, so they tried to explain their location. Later, the dispatcher called back and said the ambulance couldn’t locate them. They drove out to the main road, where the ambulance crew found them and took the boys to the hospital.

The emergency room doctor was preparing anti-venom when the results of blood tests showed no venom in the blood. He stated that venomous snakes only inject their venom in prey they plan to consume. This snake perceived the boys as a danger and struck out in a defensive mode, not offensively. Later research confi rmed the doctor’s conclu-sion. The boys stayed in the hospital for a few hours, then were released. Nathan went back to retrieve their gear while his buddies recuperated.

Realizing they should have used a walking stick to clear the path ahead, Nathan used the only thing he had in the truck, a large machete. When Nathan reached the point of the attack, the snake was still there. He made sure the snake was a copperhead and then went and retrieved their gear. Needless to say, the snake posed no threat on his way out.

One boy went home with his parents, and the other two went to Maramec Springs to do some more trout fi shing.

This would be the end of the story, but there is more. Another day, another fi shing trip. The guys went to fi sh a small

THE LEBANON DAILY RECORD TROUT TALK OCTOBER 2014 PAGE 5

longstanding tradition takes place the second weekend in October at Bennett Spring State Park to honor a longtime hatchery manager who

lost a battle against cancer. The annual Clarence Hol-

land Memorial Trout Fishing Derby is set for Oct. 10 and 11 along the banks of Bennett Spring State Park. The event draws more than 1,000 hopeful anglers to the park to win a wide-vari-ety of priz-es while raising money for the American Cancer Society. The derby be-gan more than 30 years ago and has raised more than $50,000.

There is no entry fee, but anglers are asked to make a small donation.

Clarence Holland was the Bennett Spring Hatchery Manager for many years and died in April 1977. The Holland Dam, just down the stream from the spring head, also bears Holland’s name.

Bennett Spring State Park Conces-sionaire Jim Rogers said in an effort to honor Holland and his work at Bennett, the idea of a fishing derby

was born. “I really don’t know who

started it, but someone wanted to have a derby to

honor him,” he said.Hatchery staff

release about 100 specially tagged trout into the

waters of Bennett

Spring and to be en-tered into

the draw-

ing fisher-

men must land a fish

with one of the special

tags.Tag numbers will be drawn

at the end of the event, and when an angler ’s number is drawn, they will have the opportunity the prizes.

“It’s really a good time for ev-erybody,” Rogers said. “You really don’t have to be a skilled angler. If you catch a fish with a tag, you

have just as much of a chance as everyone else. If you get a tag on a fish, you just bring the tag to the store and you know you are going to win a prize, which are always re-ally nice.”

Tags are attached to the fish on a gill and can be easily removed. Once the tag is removed, the angler can either keep the fish, as long as it is a legal catch, or turn it loose.

“By not making it the biggest fish or the first fish, it really makes it fair for everyone,” Rogers said. “It’s fair for adults, kids, everybody.”

Rogers said all fishing regula-tions apply during the derby.

PAGE 6 THE LEBANON DAILY RECORD TROUT TALK OCTOBER 2014

By Julie Turner-CrawfordTrout Talk

The trout season might be coming to an end on Oct. 31, but that doesn’t mean the Bennett Spring State Park will close down for the winter.

The park’s trails will remain open all winter long, as will the park’s hatchery. Winter catch and release will also begin the second Friday in November and continue until the sec-ond Monday in February (see related story on page 10).

The park’s staff will also be busy at work, getting park facilities ready for the 2015 season; and the hatchery staff will be finishing up with the annual spawning season, as well as growing future lunkers, and transporting Ben-nett-grown fish to the state’s urban fishing areas.

Bennett Spring State Park Superin-tendent J.D. Muschany said the “off season” gives his staff the opportu-nity to get some improvements done that they can’t always do from March 1 to Oct. 31.

Muschany said park staff will spend time this winter clearing trails, painting and other projects, including the addition of concrete picnic table p a d s a n d a d d i t i o n a l p a r k i n g i n some of the park’s camp-ing areas.

“ We a r e g o i n g t o try and get some of that d o n e , ” h e said. “Then there is the normal, ev-erything else we do.

“ . . . T h e n e w r e s t rooms in Campground 5, we are start-ing to get them finished up. We have one building on and are working on the other one. It’s just like anything

new, it takes time to get everything working the right direction.”

While having guests at the park is always great for the park staff, it can sometimes make it a little difficult to complete projects inside rental units.

“We have about four months a year, of that we lose about two weeks for shutting down, then another two weeks before we start back up (for the season). It gets down to where we have about three, three and a half months to get things done that would inconvenience our guests during the season.”

Muschany added that the park staff is continually working to make the park’s visitors experience one that they will remember, and one that will make them want to return year after year.

“We want them to come back,” he said. “That is the whole point.”

One project that will be wrapping up in the next several weeks is the addition of two new duplex-style cabins in Zone 1, near the head of the spring.

The units are replacing the units that burned in June 2013 near the park’s swimming pool.

The new cabins will each feature two, two-bedroom units, complete with gas f ireplaces and Murphy beds.

Muschany said construction is moving along on the structures, say-ing that they are nearly complete.

He expected the units to be ready for guests in time for the March 1 opening of the 2015 season, if not a little sooner.

Overall, Muschany said the 2014

season has been “great.”“We’ve had some good fish, and

people are happy about that, and of course the weather has been a plus. Out of the whole summer, we only had two weeks where it was really hot, so I think it has gone well. It’s been a great year. Visitation has been up, so I think it has been good.”

BSSP Hatchery Manager Mike Mitchell said the late fall and winter months are actually the busiest time of year for his crew.

Spawning will continue until the end of October for hatchery staff, and fish from BSSP will be transported to Kansas City for winter trout areas through the first week in March.

The Missouri Department of Con-servation is also taking part in one-time winter trout stocking in areas across Missouri such as Jefferson City, Mexico and Columbia. That process should be competed around the end of October.

Late September and early October also found hatchery staff helping out with warm water stocking of catfish and paddlefish.

During the catch and release sea-son at Bennett, which begins Nov. 14, hatchery staff will also do some stocking in the stream, including a few lunkers.

“A lot of times, we will stock a few fish throughout the winter time, de-pending on what we have and what we can get rid of. We’ll stock the en-tire park the last week of February to get ready for our opening here.”

The regular tour schedule of the hatchery facility will come to an end in October, but Mitchell said the

Just because the regular trout sea-son is coming to an end on Oct. 31 doesn’t mean you will have to put up your fly rod for the winter.

Bennett Spring State Park also offers a special catch-and-release season.

The 2014-2015 winter catch-and-release season at the park is from the second Friday in November to

the second Monday in February. Fishing is only allowed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Monday during the season.

A state fishing license and a trout tag are needed to fish during the catch-and-release season. Only flies are permitted during the winter catch-and-release season. A fly is defined as an artificial lure con-

strued on a single point hook, using any material except soft plastic bait, natural bait or scented bait that is tied, glued or otherwise permanent-ly attached.

And, as the season’s name states, it is catch and release only.

For those who want to take advantage of the cooler weather and spend the weekend at Bennett

Spring, there will be a limited num-ber of cabins available during the winter months.

For more information or to make reservations, call (417) 532-4307 or (800) 334-6946.

The Bennett Spring State Park Store will also offer limited hours during the fall and winter months.

women were able to get a tour of the hatchery operations, feed the fish, take in the historic Bennett Spring Dining Lodge and get a little fly fish-ing instruction from Jim Rogers, park concessionaire and owner of the Jim Rogers Fly Fishing School.

“We usually stay in Lebanon, but we had a lot of interest in Bennett Spring, so we made it happen,” Fort-ner said, adding that the children on the trip enjoyed the opportunity to feed the trout. “Some of the wives liked it, too.”

The hatchery tour was conducted by the hatchery’s assistant superin-tendent Mike Perry, and Fortner said

a trivia game played on the bus while traveling to the park helped get the group ready.

Fortner added that the annual trip to Lebanon by the club continues to be very popular.

“For some it is their first time to come (to Lebanon), and others have been here two or three times,” she said. “We try to change the tour up a little each year, and they have loved everything we have done. They just want to stay where we have went, and it is hard to get them moving to the next stop.”

The focus of the annual tour is to let the women know what Lebanon, Mo. and Laclede County, as well other communities, have to offer them and their families.

“They look forward to it every year,” Fortner said. “Lebanon is the first one of the season. They start their new year in August every year and run through May, and this is their first event as a group. The last couple of years we have had about 35 people, but this year we have 46, so you can see the interest is growing.”

Photos from the tour of Lebanon and Bennett Spring State Park are posted on the Friends of Fort Face-book page.

stream near home and on the way home, they stopped at the “Golden Arches” for a bite to eat. While wait-ing for their order, they sat in a booth by the window. A pickup hauling a trailer pulled into the lot. Noticing that the truck’s frame was modified, Nate pointed to the truck and told his buddy to look. The driver looked back and began staring at the boys. As Nate went to get their lunch, the man came in and confronted them. A few words were exchanged, and the man went outside.

When they boys finished lunch, they got into their truck and prepared to leave. They man tried to run into them, then he pulled out onto the highway and blocked two lanes of traffic. They got around him and he began to chase them. As he tried to pass them, his trailer came loose and passed him up. He hit the trailer, tearing up his front end and blowing a tire. He left the trailer in the road

and continued the chase. At a T-road, the boys made a sharp turn and the culprit, unable to steer on only one front tire, went into the ditch. Nathan was on the phone with 911 dispatch-ers and the police caught up with the man and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident.

I guess the moral of this story is, “walk softly and carry a big stick or machete when you go fishing, or to McDonalds on the way home.”

outdoor runs will remain open all win-ter long, allowing families to feed the fi sh, or look inside the hatchery facility through the large viewing windows.

“The outside fa-cilities are always open,” he said. “We’ll still offer tours if people want to come in and look around, if they want to make an appoint-ment to do that for those who have an interest, or if there is a group that wants to come. We’d be glad to set up something so they can see what is going on and what goes on in the winter time.”

Call the hatchery at 417-532-4418 to schedule a tour.

Mitchell said overall trout tag sales are up about 5 percent so far this season, with about 115,000 tags sold as of Sept. 25. He expects that number of climb to close to 130,000, or more, before the end of the season on Oct. 31.

“This year, I think there was only one month, maybe two, where we were slightly down from last year,” he said. “The rest of the year we were up (for

tag sales). We’ve had a good turnout for this year so far. As of (Sept. 24), we have stocked 273,000 fish into the park, so it looks pretty good.”

M i t c h e l l a l s o said there is plenty of time to enjoy the trout season at Ben-nett Spring State Park.

“This is a beauti-ful park this time of year,” he said. “The trees are starting to turn just a little, and as the weather

gets cooler, it’s a great time to get out and enjoy the opportunity to catch trout here at Bennett Spring State Park. Bring the family down, have a nice weekend and just enjoy it. This is a great place for family fun.”
