About the Lake of the Ozarks Fish & Wildlife

The lake area is teeming with fish and wildlife of all different species - making it an ideal place for fishing, hunting, or watching these creatures in their natural habitat. The best part is, so many of them can be seen right from your boat on the Lake of the Ozarks. As your enjoying a beautiful boating day, here are a few different types of birds, fish, and other creatures that you can be watching for.


Fish at the Lake of the Ozarks

The Lake of the Ozarks covered over 54,000 acres - and as you can imagine, a lot of fish live in our waters. Because of this, our area is a hot spot for fishermen and anglers alike from all over the nation. Of course, let's be honest, you have to have a good boat if you want to get to the best fish. Village Marina can help you find the best fishing boat at the Lake of the Ozarks and get you out on the water in no time. Our Lake is home to many types of fish like largemouth bass, spotted bass, black and white crappie, blue catfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish, white bass, hybrid stripers, paddlefish, walleye, and bluegill. Those are just a few of the types of fish you'll find, but they are the most common and sought after.

Are you ready to get out there and get the big one? Let our team help you find a new boat at the Lake of the Ozarks today!


Waterfowl & Birds

While out on the water, you will see a large number of different birds and waterfowl. Fishing isn't the only thing people get on the Lake. It can also be a popular location for duck hunting, you can find mallard, wood duck, gadwall, greenwing teal, ringneck, goldeneye, Canada and snow geese. Some of these are only around seasonally, and there is a duck season that you have to adhere to when hunting. They are fun to watch or to hunt, no matter what you enjoy doing. These are just the birds that you typically hunt, you will also find herons, bald eagles, hawks, owls and more when you are out during certain times of the day or year. Next time you're out on the water, take a look and see if you can spot any of these common birds.

Other Wildlife

Whether you're hiking through the woods or watching for wildlife from the water, we have many different species of birds, reptiles, wildlife and more. You may see snapping turtles sitting on the bank or logs near the shore, we have some varieties of water snakes (but try not to find those!). You may see deer on the bank of the water in the evenings getting a cool drink of water, sometimes you'll also see turkey, otters, beaver, foxes, raccoons and more as well.

The weather is getting increasingly more beautiful, and if you haven't been out on your boat yet this year - the water is probably calling to you. Before you hit the Lake, though, it's important to take a few necessary steps to get your boat ready for a day on thewater. De-winterizing your boat in the spring is just as important as winterizing it in the fall - and Village Marina is here to help. Here are a few thoughts on the importance of summarizing your boat at the Lake of the Ozarks , and how your local boat service department at the Lake of the Ozarks can help.

Our dock is fully serviced with with food, drinks and tube rentals. Before you enjoy your weekend on the water, here are a few safety tips to remember when filling your gas tank! 1. No matter where you are refueling, always clear the area of people who are not directly involved with fueling the boat. 2. Put out all smoking materials and extinguish all open flames. 3.  Be sure to secure your boat to the dock, and turn off the engine and all electronics. 4. Keep the nozzle in contact with the edge of the fill to prevent build up of static electricity to prevent sparking. 5. Do not top off your tank.
