Enjoy the hidden beauty of Tywappity Lake Conservation Area as never before. As gray trees cast slight shadows across the trail, winter beauty abounds. The restful stillness helps to set a stage for a peaceful winter walk. Watch winter breezes create ripples across the blue-gray lake and listen for winter birds calling and foraging for seeds all around. After the hike, enjoy hot cocoa and coffee to bring back some much-needed warmth.

This 2.1-mile hike is easy to moderate with slightly rugged terrain and slopes of more than 15%. This hike is weather and trail dependent.

Welcome to the first ever “All About Trout,” program put on in the St. Louis region. This is a Traditional fishing class, meaning we will be using traditional “Ultra-Light,” fishing gear and lures to fish for Rainbow Trout.

In Lesson one we will be introducing you to trout as a species, going over the history of trout in Missouri, the gear/techniques we use to catch them, the identification/use of trout bait, handling the trout, and hands on fishing.

In lesson two we go over Trout habitat, life cycle, wildlife regulations and their importance, the difference in ribboned trout streams/special use areas, fish handling overview, lure identification/use, and hands on fishing.

This is a fishing event in the cold fall/winter months! Be sure to come prepared with water, snacks, and very warm clothing (Winter jackets, pants, hats, etc.) Closed-toed shoes are required. Gloves are optional but highly recommended!
