Thread: Odesa City Lake?

All,
My uncle and I have been searching for other fishing spots near KCMO.

Recently we heard there was a city lake in Odesa - Is this true?
Any fish it yet?
Any special permit requirements? (city permit)
How do I get to it from Blue Springs MO or 70 eastbound.

Thanks
Steve

get off the odessa exit (hwy 131 i believe) go through town, a mile or so. take a right on U hwy right as you get through town. drive a few mile's there will be a 90 right turn you come to take a left on the gravel road right there. it's at the top of the hill. 2 buck's to launch i think it's an honor system...fished there several time's. there are lot of 14 incher's in there but have'nt spent enough time on the lake to give any advice just that it's worthy of putting some time in. good luck sorry not more help but can tell you there are lot's of crappie in there with low fishing pressure.

Is it TM only, Jeffie? I've considered taking the little boat out there and giving it a try.

you know blame it on my chemo brain but i really can't remember. but i think you can have a big motor at no wake like maple leaf is. but not positive billy bob. may troll some crank's there next week in the evening. gonna see what this heat is gonna do. tick's me off. just stay in the 80's. i'm so tired of watching t.v. in the a.c. i gotta get out and FISH. guess maybe if i'm up to it i'm gonna do some nightfishing this weekend. it will be hot but i don't have to fight the sun!

I bet if you sweet talk him a little.......Chatt will rig up an awning of some sort for you to fish under at Toronto. Maybe a "beaglebrella"?

take a right on OO not U slayer lol there is a permit required but as of now there is no one that checks for them.... only reason i know that is cause i work for the city of odessa lol and yes there is suppose to be some nice crappie in there but its another clear water lake and i absolutely hate clear water lol

think how stupid I would really be if I did'nt have shade in the summer time BOB

The lake shows up (on my computer) with the lake just below the cross hair. Once there just zoom in and pan around to figure it out.

oh yes hwy oo. my old damn memory. there is a lake on u. maybe hazelhill, hell i don't know anymore. guess i'm catching up with the old timer's mom's taking me over to bass pro tomorrow. i was telling her about needing something for the shade and she asked if they made something like that. i said yep a "beaglebrella" bass pro 35.00...she said let's go get ya one after your treatment tomorrow. she's so wonderful, she does'nt know it yet but i think a couple package's of yum beavertail's may find there way in the cart as well:D we shall see!
