In addition to our great trophy whitetail hunts, eastern turkeys and loads of bobcats and coyotes for the predator callers I'm now offering a guided trout fishing trip. I just returned from another very successful trip myself and got to thinking, I know where the best lodging is, where all the best fishing spots are in all four Missouri trout parks and have helped many folks along the stream to cath more fish. Why not sponsor a fishing trip through www.hiddedvalleyhuntingllc.com ? Yeah! why not? So I looked up other fishing guides in South Missouri to see what they offer and what they charge. I couldn't believe the prices! I sat down and worked up a package that includes lodging, meals, gear and liscenses,lessons and tags for the same price as others guidesonly price! Others will charge you $125. per person per day, plus $20.per hour after 5 hours.Plus $75. per day lodging, you buy your own tags and fish where the limit is two fish per day.Then you pay $250. for flycasting lessons or $35. per hour for flycasting tutorials. This equals big money, About $400. per day if you skip the complete flycasting lessons and fish all day with your guide.
Here's my offer. $650. for a 3-5 day trip per person. All gear,guide, camping, meals and liscenses included. Kids 15 and under free with two adults! Missouri's Bennet Spring State Park used as base camp. Three other trout parks(Meremec,Montauk and Roaring river) are within easy driving distance, so you could possibly fish all four in a trip. Fish are guaranteed every day of the trip, unless you choose not to fish. If you don't catch fish you may fish an extra day free, or reduce the price of your next trip. You will want to do this again and again. I will guide you personally. I just returned from a trip where everyone on the stream was complaining they couldn't catch fish, while I averaged 35 per day! Of course I'm no tourist trying this for the first time. Iv'e been fishing these springs for nearly 30 years and know how to git-er-done!
If you don't want to camp, add $100. per day for two people. This gets you a nice motel or two bedroom cabin with a kitchen.
You may keep 4 fish per day,with a possession limit of 8. In other words if you have 8 in your cooler you may not keep any more, so plan on eating fish or releasing more fish.I released 105 fish in 3 days of fishing and only fished a few hours each morning.
Could you fish these springs yourself withouta guide? Of course you can, they're state parks. Just don't plan on catching so many fish or finding the best deals on lodging or camping. Expect to spend $200-$300 per day to stay in a motel, eatand fish, and no free gear to use or expert guidance. I will make sure you have a great time for less! Missouri's trout parks are big and beautiful, with many miles of hiking trails, access to canoe or raft float trips,and much more. I took my wife and daughter on a 9mile flot trip a few days ago. Had a great time for $35.
Bennet Spring makes the best base camp because of all there is to do there, nearby shopping,and dining in Lebanon (10 miles)the lake of the ozarks (60 miles)for shopping, boat tours, go cart tracks and a great arcade. Camdenton,(45 miles)for shopping and the Bridal Cave. Springfield,(60 miles)for the largest Bass Pro shop you can imagine, Battlefield Mall,Wonders of Wildlife museum, and a nice zoo, plus two more caves nearby. Branson, (80 miles) for shows and all kinds of entertainment, and Roaring River for trout fishing. St. James(50 miles)for wineries and Meremec spring trout fishing. And Rolla (40 miles)for Montauk spring trout fishing.
You can catch your limit at Bennett and drive to any of these other places by 9:am, to shop, fish or whatever for the rest of the day! Bennet Spring is central to all of these great vacation destinations! And did I mention Rainbow and Brown Trout!
My thing is bait casting, but Bennett Spring has spinner casting and flycasting areas too. Why not try them all forone low price?
