Lake of the Ozarks is Missouri's premier bass fishery — a massive, winding impoundment with 1,150 miles of shoreline and excellent largemouth and smallmouth fishing. Table Rock Lake on the Arkansas border is renowned for crystal-clear water and outstanding spotted bass on rocky points and bluff walls. Truman Lake and Stockton Lake round out a strong lineup in the western part of the state. Fall and spring fishing are exceptional in the Ozark lakes.
