Fishing near Springfield, MO
Set in Greene County at the heart of the Ozarks, Springfield puts urban water like Lake Springfield and Fellows Lake within minutes and major reservoirs an hour out. Table Rock Lake, a 45,000-acre trophy bass fishery, sits 45 minutes south, with Lake Taneycomo's cold-water trout and Stockton Lake's walleye nearby. The James River is the city's closest smallmouth water.
