Trout Fishing in Missouri - Fly Fishing

The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters.

Trout Fishing Lakes In Missouri

Lake Taney Como is the only major lake with a significant population of trout. Some MO streams, rivers and smaller lakes also have trout. This is primarily a bass fishing state but as you can see some very nice trout are caught out of Missouri waters.

The Missouri state record brown trout was caught from Bull Shoals Lake and the state record rainbow trout was pulled from the Roaring River.

Visit the Missouri Department of Conservation for information on trout and trout stocking in Missouri.
