Overview

This fishing pier on Lake Taneycomo in Branson provides shore anglers with access to one of Missouri’s premier trout fisheries. Taneycomo is unusual because its cold water supports trout while its narrow shape and current can make portions of the lake feel more like a river than a traditional Ozarks reservoir.

Rainbow trout are the most familiar target, while brown trout provide opportunities for anglers seeking larger fish. The fishery remains popular throughout the year.

Fishing Tips

Small jigs, spoons, spinners, and other trout-sized presentations are good choices for light-spinning anglers. Fly anglers can use nymphs, streamers, and other patterns suited to current conditions.

Water levels and current can change due to upstream generation. Check conditions before fishing and review the regulations for the specific portion of Lake Taneycomo you plan to fish.

Bottom Line

A convenient Branson fishing pier for anglers looking to experience Missouri’s renowned Lake Taneycomo trout fishery from shore.
