Brown Trout
While Waco, Missouri, isn't exactly a brown trout mecca, dedicated anglers can find some trout fishing opportunities with a bit of a drive. You'll need to head towards the Ozark streams further south to find suitable habitat. These streams are generally smaller, clear, and cold, ideal for brown trout. Spring and fall are the prime times, especially after a period of stable water flows. Consider the Roaring River or Bennett Spring State Park, though they are a bit of a drive. Small spinners, nymphs, and dry flies are effective. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to hike. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity and adjust your presentation accordingly. Remember to check the Missouri Department of Conservation's website for stocking schedules and regulations, as many of these streams are stocked regularly.
