Mhyde- thanks for the info. I tried calling a phone number for Stone Creek Lodge the other day and it said it was disconnected. I believe the number in their Facebook profile will be the ticket. I've learned long ago that hiring a knowledgeable guide can significantly cut your learning curve.

That's some darned good info MoCarp. I really appreciate it and I definitely will plan on investigating the Roark area of the lake. I'll be sure to give the baitshop a call and check inventory. Thanks

Thanks for the hospitality guys. If you see a big red Lake Assualt tiller boat intruding on your waters, come on over and say hello.

Thanks, Mr. Giggles. Good bait is worth a drive in my book.

Hello All, I stumbled across this forum while researching places to fish walleye in the beautiful state of Missouri. I haven't participated in any forums prior to this but have read plenty. I was excited to see how cordial the Ozark Anglers forum was and decided to dive in. Hopefully, I'll be able to avoid ice fishing in Minnesota and be headed south with the boat in the early spring each year. Tight lines everybody!

Thanks rps. I'm still learning how to navigate the site and find the information I'm looking for. I'm sure everything I need is in here somewhere. Looking forward to befriending some new fisherman in Missouri.

Hey Guys, I'm new to the site. I've stumbled across some great info here. I'm planning on making a trip to Stockton Lake at the end of February...likely the 21st through the 25th. The last time I was on Stockton, I was 8 years old. I'm 30 years old now and desperately need to escape this winter weather up here in Minnesota. Mostly, I just want to make sure that 1) The lake will be accessible by boat (Not frozen over). 2) Where I'm able to find some live-bait. We're not allowed to bring live bait over state lines. I'd love to get any additional fishing information that you all are comfortable enough to share. I've spent a lot of time fishing walleye in many of Minnesota's natural lakes. But, I haven't fished for them in a southern reservoir as of yet. I'm planning on staying at Orleans Trail Resort and focusing on areas outside of likely spawning areas. I'd certainly be willing to share a seat in my boat if anybody would like to join me and show me the ropes!
