With over 1200 miles of shoreline surrounding this 90 mile long body of water,
the Lake of the Ozarks is dainted with isolated coves, majestic scenery and
picturesque sunsets, making the lake a fisherman's dream. Anglers from around
the Midwest are always pleasantly surprised to see that what is under our water
is big . . . real big! Largemouth Bass, Crappie, White Bass, Stripers and
Catfish are the main source of excitement to Lake anglers and when one species
isn't cooperating, relax..... another one will.
The fishing season begins early on our Lake, about January 1, and it ends
late, December 31. No kidding! From then on the action gets hotter.
Knowledgeable anglers work cool spring waters using deep diving crankbaits and
jig-n-frog lures. As the lake warms up topwater lures produce the explosive
strikes that make grown men shake with excitement. After the bass spawn,
usually in late April or early May, the plastic worm begins to replace the
crankbaits and surface lures on the business end of the fishing rod. Summer
anglers find their bass around deep points, drop offs and boat docks. And just
when you think the action's going to end, the cool weather of October and
November brings the bass back in the shallows for some more fast fishing action.
We have organized our fishing section with you in mind. Links are provided to
a wide variety of fishing activities with the hopes of giving you the resources
needed to be a successful fisherman when you get here. Please remember to use
