Kimberling City, Missouri
The bass fishing capital of the Ozarks! Located in the southern part of Stone County, Kimberling City is the largest town in the county. Just a short drive from Branson, Kimberling City has a very interesting history. The place where John Q. Hammons got his start with his very first Holiday Inn hotel.
Table Rock Lake is the second reservior in the White River chain of lakes. The dam was constructed in 1958, creating a lake that has 745 miles of shoreline. Table Rock's bottom was not cleared of trees so it's full of structure for fish to hold on. It's full of old cedars and hardwoods. In as much as 60 feet of water you'll find oaks peeping out of the waters' surface. It has shear-wall bluffs and slooping points, deep, rocky coves and pea gravel banks- all the fish habitate you'll need to keep you busy all day- and all night.
There are several major arms of Table Rock Lake- James River and Flat Creek coming from the north and the Springfield watershed and the White and Kings Rivers from the south-Fayetteville, Arkansas watershed. And then there's the Long Creek arm, also in the south but entering on the eastern side and the Harrison, Arkansas watershed.
