Ozarks, with trout fishing maybe

Trout are best caught at the big springs resorts where they get stocked. Like Bennett Springs or Roaring River. Furthest thing from wilderness. I would hike the Ozark Trail along the Current River. Use your fly gear for small mouth bass. Native, tasty and a great fly fishing experience. Or try the Buffalo River trail. Most of the BRT is up on the ridges but as you come down in the valley at crossings, you could fish. Beautiful hiking. Tim Ernst has a great BRT book. Link for Ozark trail below.

Irish wilderness area is along the eleven point river which parts are a blue ribbon trout stream. Beautiful area with a couple springs for water and a large cave to explore. This is more south east mo.
