Lake Taneycomo
-
Location: BransonMO Profile Manager: TaneyTrout Coordinates: 36.617, -93.2657 Water type (lake, river, bay, etc.): Reservoir Salinity Type (fresh, salt, or brackish): Fresh Public/Private: Public Description: Lake Taneycomo is the most diverse fishing lake in the country, sporting world-class rainbow and brown trout as well as bass, crappie and blue angling. And it runs right through the heart of Branson to boot. The upper lake gets its cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake but the lower lake stays relatively warm, just right for both coldwater and warmwater species of fish.
n 1997, the Missouri Department of Conservation designated the upper 3.5 miles of the lake a Trophy Area, assigning rules to protect rainbows so that they had time to grow to real trophies. And it has worked! Brown trout lakewide are protected till they are over 20 inches in length.
Lake Taneycomo is enjoyed by thousands of anglers each year. From novice to the avid fly fisher, she offers lots of opportunity to catch abundant, quality trout.

I would have to say Taneycomo is one of the best lakes in the country. But "the most diverse
lake" is downstream. That's right, Bull Shoals holds that distinction. All of the WHITE RIVER lakes are awesome!!!
