Stripers, Trout, Smallmouth -- What More Do You Want?

[wily]

We just got back from 4 days at beaver. We stayed at spider creek resort in a great cabin overlooking the white river. my oldest boy(5) caught at least 50 trout in our 4 days, and his little brother caught the largest.

i also took my boat, so we'd trailer it to beaver lake. the boys like to bluegill fish. i'd find some chunk rocks and they'd throw worms under a bobber and they had lots of action. i'd be in the front of the boat, throwing either a tube, or a c-rig...i caught quite a few smallmouth, and a couple ky's considering the number of casts that i made.

one morning we went with Don from Beaver Fever striper guides and he put us on the fish, they were blowing up all around us. we fished around the island by rocky branch, and in the back of Rambo creek.

beaver lake is undeveloped compared to branson, and spider creek is an excellent place to stay. this sounds more like a plug for spider creek than an actual fishing report...but if you're looking for a place to vacation...beaver has it all!

Shhhhh, don't let the secret out that much! No, really, I love Beaver and have always thought it to be underrated.

Beaver lake is an awesome fishery I must agree!

That is very cool that you guys had a well-rounded trip. After catching those stripers like that it is hard to want to catch any other type of fish! We caught over 120 stripers in the 6-20lb range and one that went close to 32lbs out of Beaver last spring/summer along with multiple smallmouth and kentuckies....and this fall/winter is looking excellent...we have been getting into a TON of topwater action lately down there! What a blast!
