Winter Trout Fishing on Lake Taneycomo
Branson, MO - (Saturday, Feb. 18 2012) — Mild winter temperatures should beckon locals and regional outdoorsmen Saturday to the last Winter fishing tournaments on Lake Taneycomo, sponsored by Lilleys' Landing Resort and Marina in Branson. Cash prizes and trophies are awarded to the top four two-person teams in this catch-and-release contest.
Fishermen will take off at 8 a.m. from Lilleys' Landing, returning at 4 p.m. for the weigh-in and a free meal. The entry fee is $50 per each two-man team; usually between 25 and 40 teams enter. It's a catch-and-release, so anglers can only use artificial baits.
Marabou jigs have long proved to be a mainstay on the lake, because they are cheap at $1 each, and can last through a dozen or more fish. Lilleys' Landing tackle shop carries jigs in several different size of weights to vary with Taneycomo's generation schedule. Scuds and midges are also great to try in the upper lake, sometimes with a tandem rig tied with an egg fly or a San Juan worm 18 inches below the scud.
For more information visit LilleysLanding.com or call (417) 231-5343.

Sometimes I think the Ozarks are defined as much by its fishing as it is by its culture!
No Ozark-related site would be complete without as much information (contemporary and archival) as possible related to fishing in the region.
Thus, this section exists.
