Fishing Clubs in Missouri
Missouri pairs big bass-and-crappie reservoirs such as Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock, and Truman with clear Ozark smallmouth streams and spring-fed trout parks like Montauk and Bennett Spring. Table Rock is a nationally ranked bass fishery, while Ozark rivers including the Current, Eleven Point, and Niangua draw float-fishing smallmouth and trout anglers. Clubs organize around bass, Ozark smallmouth conservation, trout and fly fishing, and a fast-growing kayak tournament scene.
