Old school Ozarks traditions

[coleslaw]

I was stationed at Lost in the Woods 12+ years ago. Really enjoyed the hunting and fishing as well as the culture. Could definitely see myself retiring back in that area someday.

The ozarks is a special place especially if you can really lear about the activities that the locals keep secret

It really it is. The fishing diversity and overall activities are great. I have a plot and boat slip on table rock and just buying time until we can build, or sell and buy a different place, who knows. We absolutely love that area, I send my wife houses daily in Nixa and Ozark. I wouldn't be sad to be down there full time, especially if my job gets cut after Elon submits his recommendations lol.

How are suckers for table fair?

Ain’t no fish any better than a cold water sucker fried up. No better at all.

I live between clever and hurley about 15 minutes from nixa and I work in ozark. As for Table fair great the best example I can give for how good they are is you'll have 30 plus people show up to a fish fry on the bank. And never have left overs

Plus you could go drool at the Black Widow bows at their shop in Nixa.
Great thread, thank you.

I always wondered why the Ozarks and the Appalachian Mountain people had so much in common till spent some time in the Ozarks myself... Most of y'all would fit right in back in the hills and hollers I call home.
We gig them and snag them and redhorse in the spring of the year. They are mighty tasty and its an absolute blast... Literally and figuratively considering we have one of the last firearm sucker shooting seasons left in the US on the Clinch river. All along the Clinch you will see steps here and there nailed to Sycamores hanging out over shallow riffles and runs.

I was gonna mention the Clinch and fish stands. I've seen them, grew up on the upper Clinch.

It’s the Scots-Irish belt, from the East Coast to Oklahoma. The early settlers in MO and AR came from VA, NC, KY, and TN.
