Missouri has had a great conservation department for decades. There is a program through which the state stocks ponds on private land as long as the owner allows others to come fish in that pond! Some ponds will never get fished by strangers/neighbors, others will.
I have subscribed to a free Missouri Conservation Department magazine since I was a child in Tennessee (!) and I guess I'd have to add that to my list of at home entertainment. I read a lot.
Oh here's an at-home entertainment I use the internet for. Both before and after traveling, especially on local rural roads or by boat, I like to study the area on Google earth. That helps me figure out some of the terrain I have seen and I get clues to the history of the place. Next time I go out I have more things too look for and questions to ask local people.
