Members FishinJack Posted February 15, 2011 Author Members Posted February 15, 2011 I went out below the dam couple days ago to try for some walleye. Didn't catch much, they shut off the water and I guess the water needs to be moving at least somewhat. I'll try it again soon, but during the week and try to make sure the dam is generating. I also floated the Niangua yesterday since it was another nice day. Didn't catch a single fish. Ice on the backwaters and snow on the banks everywhere. I might have gone a little too early in February. Snow melt had the river running perfect and had a good time. Maybe in a couple weeks it will be different.
slothman Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I am going to try below the dam tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. BTW I've been lurking on this board for a few years now and finally decided to join.
slothman Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Went down below the dam this evening and fished for a couple of hours. I didn't even get a bite. I saw two other people down there fishing and they had one decent walleye on their stringer when they left. They said that it was the only thing that they had caught. They were not running any water tonight. Still beats sitting around the house all night though. The weather was a bit windy, otherwise very nice to be out. I'm sure I'll be back out there again soon.
Members FishinJack Posted February 17, 2011 Author Members Posted February 17, 2011 I went down there to today, caught one decent walleye. Handful of bass too. I fished the afternoon. Should have fished more low light times.
Members walleyefishing Posted February 17, 2011 Members Posted February 17, 2011 Dose anyone know where you can fish for walleye from shore? I don't care what lake any ideas??
Members FishinJack Posted February 17, 2011 Author Members Posted February 17, 2011 I've never done it but I have heard some guys catch them from shore below Bagnel dam. Try campground side at night with jig and minnows. I would expect that you should bring plenty of jigs.
Members walleyefishing Posted February 17, 2011 Members Posted February 17, 2011 thanks i will try that.
rangerman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 powersite below taneycomo is likely the premiere place to catch walleye from the bank. fish evenings, nights, and early mornings with stickbais
shaker Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Dose anyone know where you can fish for walleye from shore? I don't care what lake any ideas?? They can be caught below Truman dam starting about right now, can't say it's the best but some are caught there. Take plenty of jigs.
