Location
Lake Taneycomo is 22 miles and 2080 acres of crystal
clear water nestled in beautiful Taney County, Missouri.
Formed in 1913 with the construction of Powerstie Dam,
Taneycomo is officially classified as a lake, however it's
structure and function is more like that of a river. When
Table Rock Dam was built in 1958, Taneycomo's water supply
then became the clear cold water from the bottom of its
reservior. The only thing trout need more than water is
cold water. This, combined with Missouri's aggressive trout
conservation and stocking programs have make Taneycomo an
ideal place for the production of record-sized brown and
rainbow trout (Thanks to RiverRunOutfitters.com website for
help with this information.)

General headquarters will be at the Branson KOA (http://www.bransonkoa.com

Fishing
The region is well known for it's excellent
large rainbow and brown trout fisheries. More on the
things you will need as this comes together.
Reasonable expectations however, are for
14 to 18 inch fish on flies. Yes, there are some monsters.
