Table Rock Lake is located in southwestern Missouri. It is an artificial body of water which is stocked and managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers which also constructed Table Rock Dam on the White River. The surface are is over 43,000 acres. Numerous resorts, marinas, and parks are sited on the lake shore. A carefully managed program to build the fish population in the waters has resulted in one of this country's best locations for a range of angling opportunities.

When you retain the services of a professional guide, you are more likely to find the species of fish that you are seeking. You can be successful throughout the entire year, as there is no limitation by fishing season. You just have to know where the quarry is most likely to be found and which bait is the best option.

There are numerous species available in the lake waters. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced fisherman or woman, you can find Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, as well as White Bass. Black and White Crappies are found in the waters. A catch of Walleye, Spoon Bill, Long Ear Sun Fish, Green Sun Fish, Flat Head Catfish or Blue Gill may be preferred by other anglers.

The warmer waters of Table Rock provide a different, yet very enjoyable type of fishing. The techniques are not like those used in catching fish in cold mountain streams or lake waters. You can participate in the thrill of the catch if you know where to find the big ones. It helps to check with those knowledgeable about the local waters. Talk to professional guide services, with people at the marinas, bait shops and resorts.

Throughout the changing seasons, the type of preferred bait will change as well. You can depend upon jig-and-frog, spinners and crank bait when searching for a catch of Kentucky or Largemouth Bass. Feather jigs work best for Smallmouth Bass. As the weather and water warms, you may have good luck with clear top-water tackle or chuggers. Live night crawlers and crawfish are suitable when used with lightweight tackle.

Understanding where to find the bass at any given time of the year is something learned with experience. It is also possible if you retain the services of an experienced guide. These are usually local people who may have fished the waters for many years. The key elements in filling a creel include being at the right place, at the right time, and with the right bait and tackle.

The reservoir is an angler's dream, but can also be challenging. If the location is a dream vacation for you, your success is likely to be higher when you are fishing the right place at the right time. You can get your fishing license online.
