What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard our well-equipped boat, you'll feel the excitement building. Lake Taneycomo isn't your average lake – it's a tailwater fishery below Table Rock Dam, which means cool, clear water and fat, healthy trout all year long. Our seasoned guides know every nook and cranny of this lake, from the best drift fishing spots to the secret holes where big browns like to hide. We'll set you up with the right tackle and show you the techniques that are working best that day. Whether it's drifting soft plastics, tossing crankbaits, or finessing a fly rod, we'll make sure you're dialed in and catching fish in no time.

Top Catches This Season

Fishing Lake Taneycomo is all about strategy and knowing how to read the water. We typically start by checking the generation schedule at Table Rock Dam – this tells us how much water is flowing and helps us plan our approach. When they're running water, we often troll with small crankbaits or drift fish with jigs and soft plastics. During low water periods, fly fishing can be incredibly productive, especially with midges and scuds. Our guides are pros at helping you fine-tune your technique, whether you're spin casting or fly fishing. We'll show you how to present your bait naturally, detect those subtle trout bites, and set the hook for a solid catch. And don't worry if you're new to fishing – we love introducing folks to the sport and seeing their faces light up when they land their first trout!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Brown Trout are the crown jewels of Lake Taneycomo. These wily predators can grow to impressive sizes in these nutrient-rich waters. They're known for their smarts and fighting spirit – hooking into a big brown can be the highlight of your fishing career. The best time to target these beauties is often in the fall when they become more aggressive before spawning. But don't be surprised if you hook into a trophy any time of year. Anglers love the challenge of outsmarting these clever fish, and the potential for a true wall-hanger keeps everyone on their toes.

Rainbow Trout are the bread and butter of Lake Taneycomo fishing. These colorful fighters are stocked regularly, ensuring great action year-round. They're eager biters and put up a spirited fight on light tackle. Rainbows in Taneycomo often average 12-16 inches, but don't be surprised if you hook into some much larger specimens. Spring and fall can be especially productive for rainbows, but you'll find good fishing any month of the year. Guests love targeting rainbows because they're plentiful, beautiful, and delicious if you're looking to keep a few for the dinner table.
