BRYANT CREEK
The
Bryant Creek is a 40+ mile long stream crossing Douglas and Ozark
Counties in the Ozark Mountains of South-Central Missouri. It is called a creek but the water flow in the Bryant is
greater than many 'rivers' in Missouri.
Descriptions of the stream divide it into 2 zones:
Upper Bryant, from the headwaters to Hodgson Mill, and Lower Bryant,
from Hodgson Mill to Norfork Lake. Portions of Upper Bryant are
what is called a "loosing stream'. Some of the water disappears
into the gravel in places. Studies have indicated that the missing
water travels under ground and feeds into the North Fork River.
Floating the Upper Bryant is more dependent on seasonal water level
fluctuations, spring and after good rains
being
the best. The mill spring at Hodgson Mill on Highway 181
discharges about 23,500,000 gallons of water daily into the
Bryant. This large steady flow helps enable the Lower Bryant to be
floatable year round from this point down stream to Norfork Lake, a
distance of about 26 miles.
The
Bryant passes through fairly uninhabited
regions of the Ozarks. You will pass large rock bluffs, hardwood
forests, and river bottom pasture. Trips of 3 days are
possible. There are many good gravel bars for camping.
Fishing is excellent on all stretches of the
Bryant.
Catfish, blue gill, small mouth bass, and rock bass are some of the
varieties you will
catch. Fly fishing for smallmouth bass is very
popular, as are the spring runs of white bass and walleye coming up from Norfork Lake.
