What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Branson, Missouri for the first time?

table rock Lake is conventional freshwater fishing and lake. TanyComo is all trout fishing because the temperature is so cold. Make sure you know what you are booking. If you prefer either one, make sure you pick your guide accordingly. Taneycomo is all trout fishing and is drifting up and down the lake They call it Lake TanyComo but it’s really a river with a dam each end of it We had an awesome time and I had never finished your truck before. But just know ahead of time what you are looking in case you prefer either one. It’s kind of interesting because you can get trout and conventional freshwater fishing only one mile apart from each other. There’s not a lot of places in the United States where you can do that.

Branson is a cool place with a lot to do. Plan on spending some time taking in the local attractions in addition to great fishing! You can purchase fishing licenses online and don’t forget to add the trout stamp if your fishing for trout.

The weather is always the most unpredictable element of your fishing trip; however, if you choose carefully the time of the year and the guide, then you have your best chance of catching the fish you would like.

The morning started out below freezing so the fish were finicky. Definitely should have worn heavier jackets and even gloves at least for the first half hour. The sun got hire up and we started finding schools. We were both just happy to be out on the lake, and we caught enough for supper and then some. ;)

Yes. This was a great trip with a great guide. Caught fish quickly and captain was terrific. Great with kids and very knowledgeable and experienced. Knew the lake well and what was working to catch fish currently.

Nice setting for a gorgeous day on a scenic waterway. But if you want more than that, the quality of your guide will make a big difference. Some find September a great month. At least one thinks it’s one of the slowest. When things are right, Taneycomo is an opportunity for uncommonly nice experiences.

We had a better experience than other people on the lake. Several anglers said they weren’t catching much today. Our guide thought it was because of low oxygen in the water due to the dam not being opened. As for when to come, that depends what you are fishing for. Best to consult a guide beforehand.

Two great options for different types of fishing - trout and then big lake fishing. It is hot so bring sunscreen, hat and long sleeves to help make your day more comfortable. Early morning or late afternoon fishing trips are the best.

Don’t try and fish this lake if you don’t have knowledge of the lake or the gear to do so. Hire a guide once or twice and get to know the lake and its patterns. Different fish feed in different locations at different times.

Book Captain Micham! It will be well worth the money and create lasting memories. No question his knowledge and expertise will help me fishing on my own anywhere in any lake. Great for beginners through experts.

We enjoyed the fishing a great deal. However, we may not return again to the Branson area because the political environment is “in your face“, and does not always appear appropriate for families and children. It is a shame because we enjoy the area and politics should not pollute that experience. The people in the restaurants and stores were wonderful and friendly, it was the people and the places that we saw outside of there that we felt were unnecessary and intrusive. This cannot be good for tourism if there is an environment that excludes and alienates half (+) of your potential customers .

Having a guide that has experience, knows the area, provides a boat and all the fishing gear you need. It makes traveling so much easier when you don’t have to being all of the fishing gear with you.

Definitely do it. I loved how big and beautiful the lake was I'm more of an out doors person so having this option to go on a fishing trip while being in Branson was great! It was cold but was still a blast and still caught nice bass.

Yes I would recommend fishing in Branson. It was a little slow due to the cold water but crappies are due to spawn shortly guide was very professional boat was great. Scenery and weather was absolutely perfect I would recommend fishing Branson and with a guide could easily get lost on this Lake if you don't know it.

Choose Captain Eric. Pack warm and water proof clothes. Get ready for a fun catch… those bass love to take you on a ride.

Snagging spoonbill is a different type of fishing and very challenging but so much fun! Gotta do it at least once!

I would wait until you have a consistently warm weather pattern. It may have been a little early for this trip.

If they are not letting water out of the dam the bite is slow but still good fishing!

I would highly rate a trip with Cody Spetz for an enjoyable day on the water. You will catch fish.

Bring water, snacks, sun screen, hat, sunglasses and sweatshirt. Bring gear for any type of weather.

If it’s your first boat ride…..book it later in the spring. If you know what you are getting into, highly recommend.

It was a really good fishing trip. We caught a lot of trout and learned a lot about fishing along the way.

Find David Welch and book a trip with him! We caught so many trout and he was super friendly. Best charter I ever had!

Get a guide because fishing is tough in February-March. They will be your best bet to be put on fish.

I wouldn’t really recommend anything as long as you have a good captain I think you’ll have a great day!

Book a fishing trip with Captain Jeff VanNimwegen with Angler's Adventures Guide Service will love every minute!

Table Rock was a new lake for us and it delivered. It’s always nice to fish new water with someone who knows the lake and where fish hide.

My boys had such a great time with Brien. They said he was extremely helpful and a blast to be around. They truly enjoyed their fishing experience.

The fishing is only as good as the guide so make sure they are a great one highly recommend Dustin from captain Michams guide service!!!

A cold front had just come through which pretty much shut down activity with the fish. BUT, it was still a great time and was better than working!
