Arkansas River


Arkansas River Fishing

The Arkansas River begins in the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains near Leadville, Colorado and ends in eastern Arkansas at the confluence with the Mississippi River.  This river flows almost 1,470 miles through Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas before entering the Mississippi River.  The Arkansas River is home to a diverse fishery with some excellent trout fishing as it flows through Colorado.  As it flows into Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, the fishery becomes more of a bass, crappie, catfish, carp and sunfish fishery.  There are some excellent fishing destination along this river in many different spots along the Arkansas River.


Millford Lake


Millford Lake Fishing

Milford Lake is actually a reservoir and it is the largest man-made lake in Kansas.  With nearly 16,000 acres of water and more than 160 miles of shoreline, this lake has plenty of water to enjoy a day on the lake.  This is a popular fishing lake for a variety of fish such as walleye, catfish, crappie, white bass, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass.


Missouri River


Missouri River Fishing

The Missouri River begins at the town of Three Forks, Montana, where the Gallatin, Jefferson, and Madison rivers meet in the Rocky Mountains.  The river then flows north, east and south where it eventually ends at the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Missouri River is the longest river in North America, flowing more than 2,300 miles.  The fishery changes as it moves from the rocky mountains to St. Louis, Missouri.  In the mountains, it is a world class trout fishery.  As it flows through the Dakotas, it becomes an excellent walleye fishery with northern pike, catfish and other species too.  Once the river flows into the St. Louis area, it becomes more of a catfish fishery, but other fish can be found there too.
