Ozark Fisheries

Ozark Fisheries is a 4th generation family owned and operated ornamental goldfish and koi farm including butterfly koi. Successful in a global market today, this Richland-based company has a wonderful history that began in the 1920s. For a more information and a complete history, visit the website.

While on a lecture tour in the East in early 1927, Dr. Furrow became interested in displays of imported fancy goldfish from Japan that were shown in several department stores. He learned that demand exceeded supply, and that producing quality goldfish offered a greater profit potential than rainbow trout. At the same time, Mr. Bailliere, who had a friend in charge of buying livestock for the Woolworth chain stores, heard from his friend, who said his firm would sell all the goldfish Ozark Fisheries could raise. So it was decided that Ozark Fisheries would begin production and marketing of goldfish with an emphasis on the fancy goldfish varieties.

On January 1, 1928, Roy Nakashima, a graduate from the Imperial School of Fisheries, Tokyo, Japan, with over 10 years of field experience, was employed to build and operate the new enterprise. The trout raceways were converted to goldfish ponds, and fancy goldfish brood stock was imported from Japan; the common goldfish brood stock were obtained from Grassyfork Fisheries in Indiana. Less than two acres of water were stocked the first year. The first shipments of goldfish were made on December 11, 1928 – three shipments totaling 1,035 goldfish for total sales of $55.50, this represented the total goldfish sales for 1928.

Construction of ponds was performed with horse teams and slip scoops, along with wheelbarrows and shovels. From the early days on, Ozark’s goldfish production included feeder commons, pond comets, calico fantails, black moors, red fantails and shubunkins. By 1936, all the land suitable for pond construction included in the original land purchase had been fully utilized. Adjacent properties were purchased, not only for expansion, but also for the protection of the watershed supplying water to the springs.

Goldfish were shipped by railway express until the 1950s. Shipping fancy and feeder goldfish to Ozark’s customers has evolved considerably over time. In the early days most shipments were made in large heavy metal cans and were delivered by Railway Express.

Golfipak packaging now allows goldfish and koi to be shipped at affordable prices. Ozark Fisheries developed and patented the Golfipak, which is now in general use in both the goldfish and tropical fish industry. The Golfipak mixes goldfish and water in an oxygen-inflated plastic bag that is sealed and shipped inside a corrugated cardboard box. More than five years was required to develop and test before starting full-time use of the new Golfipak in 1955. This opened up both domestic and overseas markets.

With more land, cattle and pond acquisitions, Ozark Fisheries has become a multi-million dollar company, raising feeder goldfish, fancy goldfish and koi for the pet industry. Beginning in the early 1970’s, with the increasing demand for goldfish feeders, much of the water acreage originally used in production of bait has been converted to goldfish.

Today Ozark Fisheries owns and operates in addition to its Missouri facility, a production and shipping facility in Martinsville, Indiana, formerly known as Grassyfork Fisheries. Both locations produce goldfish and koi which are shipped to customers throughout North America and Western Europe. All marketing is handled out of the Richland, Missouri headquarters.

Following the death of Mr. Bailliere in 1973, and Mrs. Bailliere in 1975, ownership passed to their daughter, Anne Bailliere Cleveland and her four children. After 90 years of continuous operation the business it is now being managed by the third and fourth generation.

Fly Fishing in the Ozarks – A Lifetime Fisherman’s Guide

Sharing is caring!

Fly fishing in the Ozarks is a true angler’s paradise, offering a diverse array of opportunities for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. This region, spanning across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, is renowned for its picturesque rivers and streams, flourishing with a variety of fish species including smallmouth bass, brown trout, and wild rainbow trout. The unique combination of warm and cold water habitats makes the Ozarks a perfect destination for those seeking a one-of-a-kind fly fishing experience.

One of the most notable features of the Ozarks is the North Fork of the White River, which begins as a smallmouth bass haven before transforming into a thriving trout fishery at the cold waters of Rainbow Spring. Floating and camping are popular ways to explore this wilderness river and immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the region. Additionally, anglers can enjoy guided fly fishing trips on several other rivers and creeks in the area, such as the famed Buffalo National River and Dry Run Creek for those under 16.

The history and tradition of fly fishing in the Ozarks is as rich as its waters, with local patterns and techniques passed down over generations. Despite being lesser known on the national stage compared to other fly fishing regions, those who venture to the Ozarks will find rewarding experiences, spectacular vistas, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Best Locations for Fly Fishing In The Ozarks

Trout streams and rivers in missouri.

The North Fork of the White River in Missouri is an ideal spot for fly fishing enthusiasts. The river is unique as it starts as a smallmouth bass river and then, at the cold Rainbow Spring, changes to a trout fishery with browns and wild rainbows . Floating and camping is a great way to experience this beautiful part of the Ozarks.

Another location in Missouri for trout fishing is the Meramec River, which offers opportunities to catch both brown and rainbow trout. The Missouri Department of Conservation stocks the river with trout, making it an attractive destination for anglers.

Trout Fisheries in Arkansas

In Arkansas, the White River below Bull Shoals Dam is one of the top hundred trout streams in the U.S. The clear, cold water provides an excellent habitat for brown and rainbow trout. The river can be explored by wading or floating, providing diverse fly fishing opportunities.

Mark Twain National Forest

The Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri has several trout streams that attract fly fishers. A popular spot is the Barren Fork, with its gin clear, free-flowing waters that offer stunning surrounding scenery of towering bluffs, forest-covered hillsides, and vibrant wildflowers. The waters eventually meet Sinking Creek and the Current River, providing a range of fly fishing experiences in this tranquil area. More information on fly fishing in the Mark Twain National Forest can be found here .

Ozark National Scenic Riverways

The Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri includes the Current River and the Jacks Fork River, both known for their impressive trout fishing opportunities. These rivers offer a blend of stocked and wild trout species like browns and rainbows. Anglers can expect a challenging but rewarding experience in these crystal-clear waters surrounded by the breathtaking Ozark landscape.

Fly Fishing Basics in the Ozarks

Choosing the Right Gear

When fly fishing in the Ozarks, you’ll need to carefully select your gear. Opt for a medium to fast action fly rod in the 8’6″ to 9′ range, with a 5-7 weight . Pair your rod with a quality reel that has a smooth drag system capable of holding at least 100 yards of backing. A floating line is also important for effectively presenting your flies.

In addition to your rod, reel, and line, don’t forget about other essentials like waders, polarized sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection.

Common Fly Fishing Techniques

When fly fishing in the Ozarks, there are a few key techniques to employ:

• Dry fly fishing: Cast your fly upstream and let it drift naturally with the current. Be ready to set the hook as soon as the fish takes the fly.
• Nymph fishing: Use weighted nymphs and an indicator to help locate fish in deeper waters.
• Streamer fishing: Cast your streamer across the current and use a variety of retrieves to mimic baitfish behavior.

Practice your casting and presentation skills before hitting the water to increase your chances of success on the river.

Fly Tying and Patterns

Fly tying is an integral aspect of fly fishing in the Ozarks, as local patterns often outperform store-bought options. Some popular patterns in the region include:

• Clouser Minnow: An excellent pattern for smallmouth bass, this streamer is tied with various materials and colors to imitate local baitfish.
• Ozark Sowbug: A popular nymph pattern that effectively imitates the abundant sowbugs found in Ozarks streams.
• Foam Hoppers: Topwater flies that mimic grasshoppers are deadly during terrestrial insect hatches.

Utilizing some of these proven patterns along with local advice will help ensure a successful day on the water. Joining fly tiers clubs or learning from experienced anglers can improve your fly tying skills and give you an edge in the Ozarks.

In the Ozarks, both trout and smallmouth bass are targeted by fly anglers. By having the right gear, mastering essential techniques, and tying effective patterns, you’ll be well on your way to a memorable fly fishing experience in this beautiful region.

Fish Species and Techniques

In the Ozarks, fly fishers can find a variety of fish species, but some of the most sought-after targets include brown trout, rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass. Each species requires different techniques and strategies to catch them.

Catching Brown Trout

Brown trout are often found in the colder waters of the Ozarks, such as the North Fork of the White River. They mainly feed on smaller fish, insects, and crustaceans. Fly fishers targeting brown trout should use a variety of nymph patterns, like the Zebra Midge , to mimic the aquatic insects these fish feed on. Another effective technique is using a streamer, such as the Woolly Bugger, to imitate smaller fish.

To catch brown trout, use the following techniques and patterns:

• Nymph fishing: Zebra Midge, Hare’s Ear
• Streamer fishing: Woolly Bugger, Leech patterns

Pursuing Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout are also common in the Ozarks and can be found in the same waters as brown trout, often near the cold Rainbow Spring. These fish feed on insects, such as caddis, as well as smaller fish. Fly fishing techniques for rainbow trout usually involve using dry flies to imitate the caddis and other insects they’re feeding on.

Some popular patterns and techniques for catching rainbow trout include:

• Dry fly fishing: Elk Hair Caddis, Adams
• Nymph fishing: Pheasant Tail, Copper John
• Streamer fishing: Woolly Bugger, Muddler Minnow

Targeting Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are abundant in the warmer sections of the Ozarks rivers, making them a popular target for fly fishers. These aggressive fish are known to feed on crayfish and smaller fish. It’s important to choose flies that mimic these prey, such as the Nearnuff Crayfish pattern for crayfish imitation. Using streamer patterns can be effective when trying to imitate small baitfish.

Here are some useful techniques and patterns for targeting smallmouth bass in the Ozarks:

• Streamer fishing: Zonker, Clouser Minnow
• Topwater fishing: Foam poppers, Gurglers
• Crayfish imitations: Nearnuff Crayfish, Whitlock’s NearNuff Sculpin

Overall, knowing the proper techniques and patterns for your target fish species is essential for a successful fly fishing experience in the Ozarks.

Fly Fishing Guides and Services

When planning a fly fishing trip in the Ozark Mountains, finding and hiring a reliable guide service should be at the top of your priority list. A skilled and experienced guide will help you find the best fishing spots, improve your technique, and ensure the success of your trip.

Trout Fishing Regulations and Designations

Understanding fishing regulations.

Trout fishing in the Ozarks is regulated by the Missouri Department of Conservation to ensure the sustainability of the fish populations and protect the overall health of the river ecosystem. The fishing regulations vary depending on the type, and location of the trout fisheries. Usually, these regulations define the legal fish size, catch limits, and type of tackle allowed.

In southern Missouri, there are three types of trout fisheries, categorized as Blue Ribbon, Red Ribbon, and White Ribbon areas. These designations indicate the quality of the fisheries, size limits of fish that can be caught, and specific regulations that apply to that stream.

Navigating Designated Trout Fisheries

Blue Ribbon Trout Areas:

These areas represent the highest quality trout habitats and support healthy populations of wild trout. Missouri Department of Conservation focuses on managing these areas for larger fish sizes. Regulations for these areas include:

• An 18-inch minimum length limit
• A daily limit of one trout
• Only flies and artificial lures are allowed, no natural or organic bait

Red Ribbon Trout Areas:

Red Ribbon areas are managed for quality fishing opportunities that provide larger trout sizes. These areas have the following regulations:

• A 15-inch minimum length limit
• A daily limit of two trout
• No bait restrictions

White Ribbon Trout Areas:

White Ribbon areas are focused on providing quality trout fishing opportunities to a larger number of anglers with fewer restrictions. These areas have the following regulations:

• A 12-inch minimum length limit
• A daily limit of four trout

It is essential for anglers to follow the regulations set forth by the Missouri Department of Conservation to ensure responsible and sustainable trout fishing in the Ozarks. Before heading out to fish, always be familiar with the regulations pertaining to the specific area you plan to fish, such as the Barren Fork , as they may vary or be updated over time.

Southwest Airlines surprises bride-to-be with celebration and luv notes at 35,000 feet

(Gray News) – Love is in the air – literally!

The crew on Southwest Airlines went all out to celebrate bride-to-be, Bri, as she flew to Houston, Texas for her bachelorette party.

In addition to a crown and a sash made from snacks, the flight crew made an announcement to all passengers to write down words of encouragement for the bride-to-be.

“I need a little help from every lady on the plane that is married or has been married, I’m going to walk up and down the aisle and I’m going to give out a napkin,” the flight attendant said.

“Get out a pen or something to write with, share amongst yourselves, if you would take a moment to write a little note of encouragement or piece of advice – what was something you would like to have known before you became a bride – if you could write that down so that I can pass that off to her.”

Bri was touched by the thoughtfulness of the crew and mimed a “tear” gesture to her friends.

One of the notes reads, “Marry your best friend. Beyond that, never start doing a job you’re not prepared to do forever (like ironing) and NEVER shovel snow!”
