Fishing Taneycomo

[KC Trout Fan]

I will be down over the 15,16,and 17 I am notfimiliar at all with the lake we are staying at Edgewater Resort?? I was wondering approx. Where on the map you have on here that is located first of all. Also we are will be spin fishing and was wondering where the bests spots are in that area and what they are biting on this time of year. Is 6lb too heavy on my line. Finally what is the distance to the dam and is it acessible by pontoon from the area we will be staying. Looking forward to getting down and gettin a few trout your help is much appreciated.

maybe we will cross paths and happy fishing to all!

I think line depend on you. I use 6 or 8 pound test for everything.

Fished Taneycomo this afternoon used both. I threw some large crankbaits, DT-22 and caught some bows, good bows, 15-16 inch.

Then went to powerbait for a bit and nada nothing zilch.

Back to Hot N Tot and caught some small fingerlings, 6 inch bows.

Went back to my favorite and lost a really good brown, left the net at home!! the line borke at the rod tip and I lost my favorite lure, I had it on 6lb test.

So your line choice is just that I dont belive there is any perfect line weight. I have used a scale in Wal Mart checking breaking strength of line to find the smallest strongest line and all lines are not equal.

You have to use what you are happy with and that may not be what I would recommend.

My best recommendation may not be what someone else would recommend.

Edgewater I think is in Rockaway. Not as knowledgeable of that part of the lake. You're 4 miles below Branson and Branson is 8 miles below the dam. There's been great fishing from Branson to the first major bend in the lake. Use 4 lb if still fishing with bait or throwing jigs. 6 lb is ok for drifting and throwing larger lures.

Take time and read some of the articles on the site. I think you'll find most of you general questions answered there.
