fishinwrench Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I kinda have mixed feelings about what their effect on LO will be, mussels are a good filter and LO could probably use a filtering system. Heck, they may act as a savior for LO.....who knows? They saved Lake Erie. Of all the things (animal/vegetable/mineral) dumped, spread, and spilt in LO over its lifetime I find it hard to get "all tripped out" over Mussels. Exotic intrusion? PLEEEEEEZE!

drew03cmc Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 That lake is a cesspool. I for one, will not fish it. I cannot believe that the water patrol, or local police let the things go on that go on...but I am not the one to do anything about it. I will just pass it by.

fishinwrench Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Drew, Yeah....Kinda, but oddly enough L.O. is probably THE best fishery in the state. Angler catch rates are really REALLY good, and the fish are fat and healthy....blows MY mind....but it IS a fact. You can pass up fishing Lake of the Ozarks for alot of reasons....but none can be because of "poor fishing"....cuz the fishing is GREAT here, and not just on select arms either, the fish community is healthy and overall fish population is awesome from one end to the other. And yeah, we even eat the Crappie, Walleye and Cats...their delicious! and nobody I know has ever suffered from their consumption. Maybe the strain of fish here are ultra-immune or something, even LMBV didn't have a lasting effect on LO..... when at the same time it almost made Table Rock (which is CONSIDERED a much more "prestine" body of water) a dead sea.

CMAC Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Fishinwrench, You the same "Fishinwrench" that posts on another board about LOTO, I am just a reader over there on that board. I agree with you on this one, LOTO is a fine fishery, the best in the midwest as far as I can see, not only for LM, but crappie and other species as well. There is alot to put up with fishing that lake, but once you get that taken care of it's very easy to enjoy yourself there!! Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoCarp Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 darker water lakes are easier for the "avg" angler to fish-and do well--clear water lakes, take a bit more skill and IMHO LOZ is not even a close second to TR and I have spent a great deal of time on both--some years, one will be better than the other on some species--but year in and year out TR rules--as fas as pleasing to the eye....
