Looking to maybe go to Table Rock this weekend. Do you have any info on it, or is there a site that has a fishing report? Also what does an non-resident fishing liscense cost up there?

Nate I hear that they are scattered some, but can be found. James River is the best according to what I hear. I know there have been some fishing Cricket Creek, its in Arkansas, and have been picking up some keepers.

Heres a report that I pulled up for Truman Lake.<br /><br />Bass Report:<br />Bass fishing is still slow but the few bites I'm getting are quality fish. The clearest water on the lake can be found in the Pomme Arm. Water temps are ranging from 45 in the mainlake to low 50's in the creeks. Fish can be caught right now on a suspending rogue. Focus on 45 degree angle pea gravel banks. There have been a few reports of a spinnerbait and a wiggle wart bite. Within the next couple of weeks that bite should pick up.

just got back from fishing a little north of saint louis and caught 17 in 5 hours. the water was around 42-45 dependingo on how much sun the bank got. It was pretty easy to find the pattern. Just used a deep diving bleeding crank. largest was around 3lbs smallest was 1-1.8oz not too bad for a cold water day.

Eyes on the rocks. Walleye spawn when the water temp is for 45 - 50 find some rip rap (big rocks) throw stick baits Rapalas work em slow after the sun goes down and catch some eyes. You will never fish for bass again unless your board. :D

Nate, if you have a AR resident permit you can purchase the White River Border Lakes permit for $10 and fish the MO side of Norfolk, Bull Shoals and Table Rock.
