My 9 year old son and I are new to trout fishing. I have made a few trips to Branson, and everyone that I have met has been pleasant and helpful. The girls at Lilly's Landing that I met were great. I met MU4U and his wife while I was trying to catch a few trout on the Lilly's Landing dock. I hired Adam from Anglers & Archery to guide us for a half day. I'm sure that we tried his patience, but he did a great job.
Overall, it has been a great start for us, and we hope to continue.
