Branson may be best known for reeling in visitors to Silver Dollar City theme park and the area’s many theatres and live entertainment venues. Yet it’s the Branson area’s spectacular lakes that continue to capture outdoor enthusiasts by hook, line and sinker. In fact, the Branson Lakes provide some of the very best trout fishing in the world.

The popular Branson Landing shopping and dining attraction in historic Branson sits on the lakefront of scenic Lake Taneycomo. You’ll also find lake excursions and boat rentals along a mile-long lighted boardwalk. But get away from the boardwalk and you’ll also find more than 2,000 acres of lake surface and over 40 miles of shoreline.

The lake is actually a section of the White River. The lake was formed back in 1913 with the completion of the Powersite Dam. But when the Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo’s headwaters in 1958, the entire nature of the lake changed.  The lake’s water now comes directly from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water lake, perfect for trout.

The cold, clear water offers an average water temperature of 58 degrees and is stocked each year with 750,000 10″-12″ rainbow and brown trout. The upper portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures only and the area is perfect for fly fishing. Flies that imitate freshwater shrimp as well as drifting salmon eggs or angleworms offer the best options for catching the trout.

Lower Lake Taneycomo, on the other hand, offers a downstream area closer to Powersite that has considerably warmer water and different species of fish.

 The fountain spectacular takes place at the top of the hour from Noon to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and from Noon to 11 pm Fridays and Saturdays, weather permitting.

 Of course, you’ll also find 450,000 square feet of retail shopping, a huge convention center, a boutique hotel, marina and more at Branson Landing. A variety of dining options provide both fine dining and quick fare for visitors.
