Target Species

Rainbow Trout: These colorful beauties are the stars of the show on Lake Taneycomo. Known for their acrobatic fights and delicate flavor, rainbows in this lake can grow to impressive sizes thanks to the cold, nutrient-rich waters flowing from Table Rock Dam. They're active year-round, but really turn on during the cooler months. Expect fish averaging 12-16 inches, with the chance at a trophy 20-incher always on the table. These guys will test your skills with sudden runs and jumps that'll have your heart racing!

Brown Trout: While not as common as their rainbow cousins, the browns in Lake Taneycomo are the stuff of angling legend. These clever predators are known for their selective feeding habits and hard-fighting nature. They tend to hunker down in deeper holes and along structure, so targeting them requires patience and precision. The payoff? The chance at a true monster - Lake Taneycomo has produced brown trout over 20 pounds! Fall is prime time for big browns as they get aggressive before the spawn.

Time to Get Your Fish On!

Listen up, folks - this ain't your typical tourist trap activity. This is hands-on, rod-bending action with one of Branson's top-rated fishing guides. In just two hours, you'll get a crash course in trout fishing techniques, local lake knowledge, and the thrill of battling some of Missouri's feistiest fish. Plus, with Fish On Guide Service handling all the gear and even cleaning your catch, all you have to do is show up ready to have a blast. So what are you waiting for? Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. Give us a shout, book your trip, and get ready to create some reel memories on Lake Taneycomo. Trust me, once you've felt that first trout on the line, you'll be hooked for life!

Brown Trout

Brown trout are a prized catch here on Lake Taneycomo, typically ranging from 14-20 inches and 1-3 pounds. These clever fish prefer cooler, deeper waters near structure like submerged logs or rocky areas. Fall and early spring are prime times to target them, as they feed more aggressively. Anglers love browns for their challenging nature and hard-fighting spirit - they'll give you a real run for your money! Their golden-brown coloration with distinctive red and black spots makes for beautiful photos too. For the best shot at landing one, I recommend using small spinners or fly fishing with nymphs in the early morning or late evening when they're most active. Drift your lure or fly near cover, and be ready for explosive strikes. Remember, patience and stealth are key with these wary trout.

Brown Trout

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout are the bread and butter of Lake Taneycomo fishing. Most measure 12-16 inches, though trophy sizes over 20 inches aren't uncommon. You'll find them throughout the lake, but they especially like areas with current and plenty of dissolved oxygen. Spring and fall are great seasons, but rainbows bite year-round here. Folks enjoy targeting these fish for their acrobatic fights - they'll leap clear out of the water! - and excellent table fare. To up your odds, try drifting salmon eggs or small jigs near the bottom in deeper runs. Early mornings often produce the best action. When fly fishing, a #14-16 scud pattern can be deadly effective. Don't forget to watch for rising fish - that's when dry fly action can really heat up. Just remember to use light line and set the hook quickly, as rainbows have soft mouths.
