Evening at the Dock

I think that I've been very negligent in bringing awareness to the amazing fishing on Lake Taneycomo. This lake is the "Little Brother" in the chain of Lakes that make up the White River system in Southwest Missouri. It's 22 miles long which makes it the shortest lake by far and It has the oldest dam holding it back than any others on the system. This gives the lake a "river" feel and look, even though it is a reservoir. It also has something that a typical lake does not, which is a noticeable current however slight it may be most of the time. What all does that mean exactly??? What it means is that it's a PERFECT combination for fishing. And notice that I didn't restrict the "fishing" to just trout fishing.

Lake Taneycomo was the first "Lake" produced by a dam on the White River over 100 years ago. It was followed by the "Big 3" which is Table Rock, Beaver and Bull Shoals. Technically, everything that ever swam in the White River is still in the White River system including Bass, Crappie, Walleye, Catfish and every other native species present in all of the lakes in the region. However, the creation of Table Rock Dam added an element particularly suitable for trout and that was colder water. Now, Lake Taneycomo is very well know for being a world class trout fishery.

BUT...........Enough of the history!

On to the FISH........ Our Rainbow Haven Resort and Cross Timbers Cabins housekeepers, Tom and Janice, sneak away whenever they can and do a little fishing. Just last night, they journeyed up the lake about a half mile to the twin islands to give it a go! About 2 hours later they returned with their catch for the night which included some very respectable Rainbows! Yes, these are the actual ones and not just a spare photo floating around in my pic folders on the computer. As you can tell from the look on Janice's face, they had a fulfilling evening at the lake that culminated with a stop at the fish cleaning station at the Dock!

When YOU decide you're ready to take on "Lake T".......Make sure you give us a call. We offer two different resort experiences. We have boat and kayak rentals for the adventurous. We have a nicely outfitted tackle shop, boat slips which are no charge to our guests, a public boat ramp just past our parking lot, a public fishing island and floating fishing dock just a minute's walk away.

You don't have to go far from here to get to the best that Taneycomo has to offer!

See You at the Dock!
