Reply With QuoteClinton is a nice little town to live in with a small town feel. There are a lot of different boat ramps to go to in that area. Not as much trolling. A lot more dipping and spider rigging. A lot less boat traffic.

My wife and I have been looking at houses on LOZ in the Camdenton area and around Truman for a while and actually toured a few last week. It kinda boils down to a place on the lake with either a community dock or dock at the house on LOZ or a lot more house not on the lake at Truman. Both have pros and cons! I’ve been spider rigging for a few years mostly on Reelfoot and started pulling crankbaits in MS last summer. We’ve been to Truman at least once a year for the last few jigging trees. Opinions on which lake would be better for year round fishing? I have a RT188C.

Been doing the same. IMO if your going to live on a lake, live on a lake. LOZ lakefront. The views from the house is what your there for. IMO my own dock in deep water is the landlovers Barn and 10 acres. Always something to do on the dock. Ideally your own and a community dock also. Many days just dock fishing.
No condo for me, I don't get along with lice very well now and I pretty sure that's not going to change. Deals abound @LOZ but buy what YOU want, the first time.

I heard a quote from one of the crappie pros a few years back He said Lake of the Ozarks is the best crappie fishing lake in Mo from October to April.
I say fishing is good you just have to avoid the weekends and holidays all summer. It's nice to have a dock to leave the boat on where all you have to do to go fishing is flip a lever and unsnap the front. It will let you go fishing more.

Had a place at LOZ with multiple slips for dock and nothing better. the views are fantastic and give you so many options that you will spend more time on water and doing other rec stuff. BTW you can always take your boat to truman, short distance then and get best of both worlds. JMHO.

If I was to live on the water at LOZ it would be above the 40mm. Good fishing and alot less big boats.
My folks live at the 50mm and it is alot more manageable even on holidays and weekends. Yes there is still boats and lice but the water isn't near as rough.

Are the Niangua arms less busy as far as big boats and other lake lice?

Yes they are less big boats but holiday weekends all bets are off. three months of 10000 boats and they go home. :] By 10 am off the lake for fishing, summer...

Hey Greg (or anyone else who knows?) are properties at the 60mm and upstream from there more susceptible to being drydocked during a draw down in winter? I'm sure it happens anywhere when you're at the back of a cove, but does it happen on main lake channel up above the 60mm? Say around the 80mm on main lake?
