Central Noobie Looking For Lakes To Fish

[deggen40]

I'm in search of lakes that I can navigate and fish from the shore until I can buy a fishing kayak. I currently live in Jefferson City, but I'm open to traveling to do some fishing. I'd probably stick to whatever will bite (panfish, bass, etc). Any suggestions would be awesome!

I would start By going to the Missouri Conservation Dept (www.Mcd.gov) go to the fishing section on the right you can search for mcd sites by county. Good place to start. Also try the parks dept for Jeff City, might be some overlap here.

Google earth is another way to locate water in your area. After spotting it you will have to decide if it's public or not. Many times it will give you a name you can do a search on for further information.
