Muskie Guide Service
Fishing below the dam at the
outlet pool will not be allowed for approximately two years. the Corp of
Engineers is doing some upgrading to the “stilling basin” and the tube
leading from the lake to the river. Fishing above the dam is slow with
the rapid fluctuation of the water the past three weeks, they have been
turning on and turning off the water making for a dis-oriented fish
population. The lake right now has risen back to 845 which is 6 feet
above normal pool. They will drop the lake to 843 and hold it there
until the water fowl season is over and then drop the lake for the
spring rains.
Have talked to several bass
fishermen and they were catching bass until the water started coming up
again. Things should pick up again with the white bass starting their
fall feeding spree. All other fish I would say you just have to hunt
for them.
Any questions about fishing
don’t hesitate to call at 417-993-0035 and I will let you know what
information I have gleaned from the people who fish on Pomme de Terre.
Good luck from Pomme Muskie
Guide Service.

Stockton Lake Fishing Report This
is the last report that we have
Lake level: 869.34
Normal pool: 867
Sorry I have been
delinquent in posting my fishing reports; no I haven’t been hunting, due
to the fact that fall fishing is my second busiest time of the year, and
I was booked solid through November. Thank God for the good weather.
Plus by the time I got home, I was too tired to do a report. BUT, I do
have some good information.
Walleye fishing
has been slow, but we have been able to coerce a few keeper fish (18-20
inches and a couple of fish up to 24 inches). Main lake points are the
places to be, and some of these fish will be down to 50 feet. Jigs and
minnows (large minnows if you can get them) work the best. The bite
will be light, so you need to concentrate and position the boat over the
fish you mark. Later in the day, (particularly if it is cloudy, and
with the early moon) walleye move shallower. Same technique, but you’ll
be fishing in 20-30 feet of water. As I said, the bite has been tough,
so to be perfectly honest, the key is for the fish to turn on and bite.
Change locations often. Later in the day, when the fish get shallower,
try trolling or casting deep diving crank baits. The best way I can
think of to get warm when it is really cold is to cast and retrieve
those deep diving crank baits that are designed to plow the bottom.
Crappie fishing
is good; crappie are being caught in 25-30 feet of water on minnows and
jigs over brush piles.. The key to being successful is twofold:
remember the bite will be light, so pay attention. The second
consideration is you need to move often. You can play out a good brush
pile in no time, especially if your brother in law, Reginald , keeps
slamming boat storage lids. If you are unfamiliar with the lake, spend
time with your sonar and locate brush piles at the depths mentioned
above. You’ll catch more fish if you hunt first and fish later.
Bass metabolism
(like crappie) has slowed down considerably in the 52 degree water.
They have a tendency to move up shallower in the backs of coves later in
the day, and can be caught on shallow running crank baits and spinner
baits. I like the choice of spinner baits over crank baits in this
situation because the bass move up in the brush due to the lake being
high and you get hung up less. That way you don’t have to be constantly
digging your brother in law’s crank bait out of the bushes and messing
up the whole location. For deeper bass during the day, like I always
say, when the water gets cooler and cold, you need to slow down.
Plastic worms, jigs, and Colorado blade spinner baits will attract more
attention. Remember this, bass people: the majority of the time, where
you caught bass in the summer is where they will be in the winter. They
don’t move far from home. If it’s a good place to be when the water is
hot, it’s a good place to be when the water is cold. You just have to
fish differently. Winter is a prime opportunity to catch a hawg.

Report by
River Run Outfitters
What a crazy few days we have had! Wednesday the
weather forecast started looking real bleak with a winter snow advisory
for Banson and the surrounding areas. Some snow starting Thursday night
which continued all day Friday. By Saturday, sure enough, we had 6-7
inches of white stuff over most of Branson. We made out pretty good as
parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas were hit much harder than we were.
Hope you guys are starting to thaw out and get back to normal soon!
Water continues to flow 24/7 and today, for a change, Table Rock dropped
back to three generators, at least for a while. Table Rock is now at
916.1 feet, while Beaver is down to 1121. 6 feet. At this rate, Beaver
should be at pool level within a couple of days. However, don’t get too
excited, as we will have some additional water from the run off of this
snow melt. Do see a light at the end of the tunnel though…barring any
more major rain or snow fall.

Fishing Report
from Sterett Creek Marina 10/28/09
Well it's that time of the year again. This will be my last fishing
report for the season. We will be closing down for the season Nov.
1. I will start the fishing reports again the first part of March.
It seems like this year has flown by. As I look back it has been one
of the better fishing seasons we have seen in several years. The
crappie size has been good all season and the numbers the same. The
bass fishing this year was super. When it takes close to 20 lbs to
win tournaments that's some good fishing. The cat fishing was
excellent all year. Lots of good sized blues. The whites and hybrids
were a little slow moving down to main lake last spring but once
they got here the fishing was great. Lets hope next year will be as
good or even better.
LAKE LEVEL:
713.7
LAKE TEMP: 57
deg
WATER CLARITY: Light
stain.
BASS: The bass are still on their fall pattern. 1/2
way to all the way back in the creeks on the flats. Spinner baits
fished along the cedars has been a good bite. 2' to 4' of water
seems to be best. There are also some fish on the secondary points
in 8' to 10' of water. Jig and frog has been working on these fish.
CRAPPIE: We had a few good crappie reports this
week. The crappie are holding on brush piles in 25' of water. Jigs
are the best right now. The fish seem to be holding right on top of
the brush. There were also fish caught off the bluffs out of 35' of
water down about 25', here again jigs were the best.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: Seems the weir has cleared up
enough to get these fish all excited. We saw several nice hybrids
come in. Best bait was a 1/4 oz. jig head with a 3" orange and
chartreuse jig. Fish were holding right off the bottom. There were
also some fish on the road beds in the Little Tebo area. Between
spoons and deep running crank baits the were some nice whites
caught. These fish have bee in about 16' of water.
CATFISH: Jugs have been working well for blues.
Perch along with Little smokiest have produced some nice fish this
week. Best fish are coming out of 25' of water down about 20'. Close
to points seems to be the best areas.
I would like to thank all the people that have sent ataboys for the
fishing report, they were appreciated. We would also like to thank
all the folks that came to Sterett Creek this year and hope to see
you all in the spring.
Till next spring
Good Fishin

CLOSED We open March
1st so come in and see us.
Crappie fishing in the lower lake is the
only report we have. The bluffs and bluff ends around the damn area is
where the bite has been. Fish the water that is 25ft deep and deeper
fishing 20 ft down. The bait of choice is blk/char jigs. Tie 2 jigs in
the 1/16oz size on your line 1 2 ft apart, drop it down 20 ft and
don't move it much. The key is to move very slow and keep your eye on
your graph.
No report on any other fish
