Walleye

If you're chasing walleye in Hollister, Missouri, you're likely heading to Table Rock Lake or Taneycomo Lake. Table Rock is known for its deep, clear waters, and the walleye tend to hold near submerged timber and rocky points. Spring and fall are prime times; walleye spawn in the spring and feed heavily in the fall to prepare for winter. Try trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with minnows along these structures. Taneycomo, being a tailwater, has unique conditions. The constant cold water release from the dam creates a trout fishery, but walleye also thrive, especially in the warmer months when they move up from Table Rock. A local tip for Table Rock: pay attention to the thermocline, as walleye will often congregate just above it. For Taneycomo, check generation schedules before heading out, as the water level fluctuations can significantly impact fishing success.
