Walleye
If you're targeting walleye near Rogersville, Missouri, Stockton Lake is your primary destination. This large reservoir offers a diverse walleye fishery, with a mix of natural reproduction and stocking efforts contributing to a healthy population. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on rocky points, submerged timber, and the dam area. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with plastics are effective techniques. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. Stockton can fluctuate, and walleye will often move deeper in clearer water. Also, be aware of the lake's size; a boat is highly recommended for effective walleye fishing here. Check the Missouri Department of Conservation website for up-to-date stocking reports and regulations.
