What's biting
Table Rock Lake is best known for bass: largemouth, smallmouth, spotted (Kentucky) and white bass. Crappie, bluegill and catfish round out the catch.
Fishing is good year-round, and spring and fall are when anglers plan trips around the bigger catches.
Permits
Missouri requires a fishing permit for most anglers aged 16 to 64 and for nonresidents 16 and older. Anglers 15 and younger are exempt, as are Missouri residents 65 and older. Buy permits online from the Missouri Department of Conservation before your trip, and check its current regulations summary for length and creel limits.
Fishing from the resort
Guests can fish from the resort's covered dock, rent the tritoon to reach the coves, or launch their own boat at the ramp and keep it in a rented stall.
