Spotlight Truman lake

I have been to Truman lake twice now  and after an 8 year stocking program, walleye fishing on Truman lake has really took off with great catches around the confluence of the Osage river and pomme de terre river at kk island.  This stocking program has really lead Truman to be a popular destination for fishermen in the summer as well as in the winter. The species of fish which are raised at the hatchery and then later used to stock Truman lake are muskellunge, channel catfish, largemouth bass, striped and hybrid striped bass, bluegill, and hybrid sunfish.  Truman lake is not all about fishing however, surrounding the lake there is a great mountain bike park which has been built on corps of engineer land bordering the lake. All of these trails are in the immediate vicinity of Truman lake and make a great day trip while you are visiting the lake or are great for simply visiting themselves. The inaugural Truman lake adventure race winds throught some of these great mounting biking trails around the lake. Overall Truman lake in is a peaceful and fishy alternative to the more popular lake of the ozarks.
