Walleye

If you're targeting walleye in Reeds Spring, Missouri, Table Rock Lake is where you'll want to focus your efforts. This massive reservoir offers diverse structure, from submerged timber and rocky points to deep, clear water perfect for walleye habitat. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move shallower to spawn or feed heavily before winter. Try trolling crankbaits along main lake points or jigging near submerged brush piles. A local tip: the James River arm of Table Rock often clears up faster after heavy rains, making it a good bet when other areas are murky. Be aware of the lake's thermocline in summer, as walleye will often hold just above it. The walleye population in Table Rock is generally healthy, with opportunities for both smaller eaters and trophy-sized fish.
