About Ozark Trout Runners
Ozark Trout Runners is a professional fly-fishing guide service working the trophy waters of Lake Taneycomo in Branson. Operating from the dock at Lilleys' Landing, the guides run drift and jet boats on the tailwater below Table Rock Dam, putting clients on rainbow and brown trout in a fishery that produces genuine trophy-class browns every season.
Trips are built around the angler rather than a fixed script. Beginners get patient casting instruction and rigged-up gear, while experienced fly anglers can sight-fish to big browns with streamers or fish technical midge patterns when the water is low. Half-day and full-day trips include quality rods, flies, and terminal tackle, and the guides row or reposition constantly to keep clients in productive drifts.
Because Taneycomo runs cold out of the depths of Table Rock Lake, the trout fishing stays strong all year — winter can be some of the best streamer fishing on the calendar. For visiting anglers who have only a morning to spare, or traveling fly fishers chasing a Missouri trophy brown, Ozark Trout Runners offers local knowledge that shortcuts years of learning the water alone.
