They let me in the boat...SERIOUSLY! Saturday afternoon, The Man and The Big Little Man let me gofishing with them at Duck Creek Conservation Area. I am still stunned that I knew this place existed, but had never been fishing there, okay forget fishing, I had never been there to shoot photos. We arrived at Duck Creek Conservation Area just a few minutes after 4pm, I was a bit relieved we had let the sun settle as I discovered we would be renting a boat and paddling out on the lake to do some fishing. By the way folks you can rent boats and paddles for $5 there from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
The minute we hit the lake I was extremely bummed I had packed my book, but left my big camera at home. I don't know how many fish are in the lake, but I can tell you there are tons of lillypad and dollar pads all over this lake.
I was truly in photography paradise and was loving every minute of it....as for the fishing, unfortunately a storm blew up about 2 hours after we arrived there, so there was no fish for us. However, we caught a glimpse of some big turtles, a few beavers, a couple baby raccoons, and a herd of deer!
Duck Creek Conservation Area main entrance is located nine miles north of Puxico on Highway 51. The area contains 6,318-acres with a wide variety of habitat and animals.
Happy Adventures!
