A Day Out On Lake Taneycomo With A Branson Fishing Guide

By Eula Clarke


The good thing about an outdoor holiday in the Ozarks is that people don't have to wonder about the most perfect place for trout. Actually, they just need to find the right person, which in this case happens to be a Branson fishing guide. This will be someone who is familiar with the entire length and breadth of Lake Taneycomo, arguably the most thrilling place for anglers in Missouri and the Ozarks.

Before casting the line, so to speak, it may be helpful to find out a bit more about how things work in these parts. It might be a good idea, for example, to learn that the Table Rock and Taneycomo lakes are the most popular spots for anglers. It's also useful to know that a stay in Branson, MO is ideal for these holidays.

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.

On the other hand, the part of the lake closer to Forsythe and the Powersite Dam is much deeper at over 50 feet, and warmer too. The offerings here are far more diverse, including trout and bass. It's a lot more challenging as an angler, and people can easily spend a whole day on the water at this end.

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.

There's also the question of how to get the permits and licenses involved. For starters, a Missouri fishing license is a must. Another requirement is a trout permit for Lake Taneycomo, which is essential for those angling for trout on the lake after the Table Rock Dam. All of this can be taken care of by the guides or purchased directly from most any bait and tackle shop, fishing gear seller or supply store in the area.

Of course, there are also resorts that offer an inclusive experience that includes a stay, meals, transport, and a whole day out on the lake. These are group trips that will be led by local experts who know exactly where the fish bite. It's just as possible to find a place to stay and separately hire a guide for a personal trip that caters to a visitor's own preferences and comfort level.

It's fair to say that whatever the choice, every visitor who spends a day or two in Branson exploring Lake Taneycomo with a fishing guide will end up highly satisfied. To top that off, the city offers a vibrant urban holiday experience with shows, restaurants, shopping and a whole lot of entertainment options. People who come here once are hooked for sure, and the city and lake will inevitably reel them in for more holidays every year.
