Branson Fishing Guide For A Day Out On Lake Taneycomo

By Eula Clarke


An outdoor enthusiast angling for trout in the Ozarks doesn't really have to worry about where to go. In fact, it's just a question of finding the right guy. Since this happens to be in Missouri, it would be a Branson fishing guide who knows every inch of Lake Taneycomo's waters, the most thrilling and satisfying place to be for anglers in the Ozarks.

Before getting to the tips and the whereabouts of the trout, it might be a good idea to get a lay of the land and the legal aspects. For instance, it's helpful to know that Taneycomo and Table Rock lakes are the top two places to fish in this region. Also, they're easily accessible from Branson, MO.

The Table Rock Dam feeds the lake, so this part is shallow and quite cold close to the dam. This means the headwaters are a good place for fly-fishing. It's possible to wade in and stand in the water, or stay on shore and reel in the trout.

The other end of the lake at the Powersite Dam near Forsythe is considerably deeper (over 50 feet in some places) and much warmer. This makes it an ideal habitat for trout, bass and many different kinds of fish. It's a great place a seriously long and challenging day out on the water.

It's possible to get on the water through boat launches from the city campgrounds in downtown Branson and through the public park in Forsythe. The Table Rock Dam trout hatchery also has another boat launch offering access to the lake. It helps, of course, to have a guide who knows which place to go to for what kind of fish.

Everybody also needs to get the required licenses and permits. A state fishing license is a must, and a Lake Taneycomo trout permit is also required. This can all be handled by guides, and visitors can also get the permits from local supply stores, fishing gear providers and bait and tackle shops.

Resorts close to the lake offer guests an inclusive stay that combines a fishing expedition with accommodations, meals, local transportation and all the usual amenities. These are usually full-day or half-day group outings led by local experts who spend a lot of their time on the lake. It's obviously possible to simply book a hotel stay and then find a guide who can offer a personalized and more comfortable experience.

Regardless of how it's done, the fact of the matter is that time spent on Lake Taneycomo in Branson, MO with a fishing guide is truly well spent. The city adds to the holiday experience with shopping, restaurants, shows and a lot of urban entertainment. It makes for an unforgettable vacation, and most people end up being hooked for life.
