Trout Fest
June 6-7, 2015

Join CFM at Bennett Springs State Park during free fishing weekend (June 6 and 7) to catch some fish while celebrating conservation in Missouri. 

Bennett Spring is one of the most popular State Parks in Missouri, with visitors coming from all across the Midwest each year to fish, camp, picnic and more. The spring from which the park derives its name is the third largest in the state, producing an average of 100,000,000 gallons of water a day that pour into the Niangua River. This makes for prime trout fishing habitat and opportunity.
 
Trout Fest is going to be all about family fun centered around fishing.

We hope to see you at Bennett Springs for Trout Fest this June.
