Lake of the Ozarks Missouri Fishing Report Today

Alright, folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake of the Ozarks fishing report for today. Let’s get right into it.

Sunrise is around 7:15 this morning, and sunset’s at 4:55, so we’ve got a short window of daylight, but that’s prime time for winter bass. The moon’s in its First Quarter phase, and the major bite windows are early this morning and again late this afternoon, so plan your trip around those if you can. Visibility’s decent, and the lake’s not seeing any real tidal push, so it’s all about the weather and stru...

This is Artificial Lure with your Lake of the Ozarks fishing report.

We don’t worry about tides here in the Ozarks, but water level and weather are driving the bite. According to the National Weather Service, we’re sitting under a cool, high‑pressure pattern: chilly mornings in the upper 20s to low 30s, highs topping out in the low 40s, light north to northeast breeze, and mostly clear skies. Sunrise is right around 7:10 a.m., with sunset close to 4:50 p.m., so your prime windows are that first hour of light and the last 90 minutes before dark.<...

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake of the Ozarks fishing report.

We don’t worry about tides here in mid‑Missouri — the dam keeps water levels fairly steady — so your “tide” is really **generation and wind**. When Bagnell’s pushing water and you’ve got a little chop, the bite’s been best along main‑lake structure and the first third of the creeks.

Weather-wise, the National Weather Service is calling for a classic early‑December pattern: morning temps starting out cold in the upper 20s to low 30s, climbing into the 40s to low 50s by afternoon...

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in from Lake of the Ozarks with your early‑winter fishing rundown.

We don’t worry about tides here, just water level and temps. Ameren’s lake level page shows the lake sitting near its normal winter pool, with surface temps mostly in the mid‑40s on the main lake, a touch warmer in the backs of creeks. Clear to lightly stained on the main lake, more color up the river arms.

The National Weather Service is calling for a chilly, mostly dry day: morning temps down around the freezing mark, afternoon...

Bass fishing around Lake of the Ozarks is sliding into that classic early-winter pattern: chilly mornings, clear water on most of the main lake, and a better bite once the sun gets up and warms those chunk rock banks and dock corners a touch. Fish aren’t climbing in the boat, but anyone slowing down and fishing deeper structure is still putting together solid mixed bags of largemouth and spotted bass, with bonus crappie and a few catfish.

Air temps are running cold at daybreak, warming into a crisp, comfortable afternoon, with light to...
