Anglers and outdoor enthusiasts in the Ozarks don't have to worry too much about where to go for trout. There's only one person they need to find, and that is a Branson fishing guide in Missouri. This will be someone who knows every inch of Lake Taneycomo, and that in turn is probably the single most thrilling body of water for anglers in Missouri and the Ozarks, if not in the entire continental United States.

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.

Also, Taneycomo is a man-made lake. So the water is colder and shallower near its source at Table Rock Dam. This means the headwaters are ideal for fly-fishing, either by wading into the water or from the banks. This end of the lake is typically a good place for 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.

Note that there are many resorts around the lake that provide their guests with a complete outdoor experience inclusive of a half-day or full-day fishing expedition. These will be trips where a group of guests are led by a local expert who is intimately familiar with every part of this lake. Visitors can, of course, simply book a hotel room and find their own guide for a personal trip customized to their preferences.

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.
