bigredbirdfan Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Has anyone gone on a Taneycomo or Table Rock fishing trip with a guide named Bill Beck? Heard he is one of the best guides in the area from a very prominent big outdoor store in Springfield connection? Wanting to book a series of fishing trips the rest of the year with him and wanted to get some feedback before I do? Any help is appreciated!!
Trav Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I think Bill Beck was partnered with Bill Babler in a recent competition. And they won! Good credentials to me.

patfish Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Bigred, my girlfriend and I booked a half day trip, on fairly short notice, with Bill Beck back in May. We are by no means bass fishermen. We mostly fly rod it for the trout. Bill was absolutely great! Patient, personable, professional, and just an all around fun guy to fish with. More than happy to answer any question, no matter how rookie it was. Put us on fish immediately, it was amazing. Of course, the girlfriend out-fished me (she landed a 3.5# smallie) but it didn't matter, when we were riding back from our time on the Rock, she says, "That was awesome! We have to fish with him again, and soon!" If he can get her to want to fish more, that's just more fishing time for me. Its a win-win. The only problem you may have is his time. He mentioned something about having been on the water 54 days in a row that day. Crazy! Bottom line, he is that good. I'd say go for it. He's a first class individual.

Fishrman Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I fished with Bill back in December and remarked about the trip a couple of times. If you go with Bill you will not regret it, he is very personable and professional and knows the lake as well if not better than anyone. I am trying to get another trip with him this month. Hopefully I can make it happen.
Bill Babler Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 The Beckester is good on either pond. He loves the trout, so you will have a great time. His Phone number is;417-335-1867 Have a great time. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com

Fishin' Freak Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Bill Beck is an excellent hand on the Rock. I have fished with him a couple times and he is one of the best around. He is a threat to win any derby on Table Rock. He can put you on fish for sure and is great for teaching new techniques.
