Eleven Point River Fishing Map & Spots (MO)

Hatch outlook

Willow fly (summer mayfly)Active window

Typical here: Apr 1 – Oct 31 · recurring broods all summer — the heart of it is June–July, famously around July 4th on the Tennessee River lakes; any one hatch lasts days to ~3 weeks

dunhatches at dusk — clouds of bugs just before dark, continuing into the night — after hatching they fly to shoreline foliage — trees near lighted docks get covered; the feeding zone is the water under bug-loaded overhanging bushes and willows
spinnerthe following days: mating, egg drop and spent flies falling from the overhangs — the bream bite under the bushes runs as long as the bugs do

A two-level event: bream stack under the bug trees, and the big bass stack under the bream. Fish the same bushes twice — small for bream, big for the bass just outside them.

Crickets or small poppers under a float tight to the bug-covered bushes for bream; beetle spins and hair jigs just under the surface; for the bass, run a bluegill-pattern topwater or squarebill down the outside edge of the overhangs.

The event happens over under and just outside overhanging willows and bushes on steep banks; trees near lighted docks after dark

Fishing Eleven Point River: what the data says

Spring-fed trout water below Greer Spring. The river tops out around 10 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:

On the chart, Eleven Point River draws 2,221 acres inside 106.8 miles of shoreline. The 16.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 32.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 12.5 mi at the beam. The water lies in Oregon County. For a second option, Ripley Lake lies 24 mi east.

Rainbow Trout fishing at Eleven Point River

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 3 to 10 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 ft through summer, 2 to 10 ft in winter. The spot to know is Current seam (mile 19.2), a current seam in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	3 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon
Summer	3 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon
Fall	3 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals
Winter	2 to 10 ft	dawn	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white)

Smallmouth Bass fishing at Eleven Point River

Spring puts smallmouth bass in skinny water — 3 to 10 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 10 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 10 ft. Spring smallmouth bass concentrate at Riffle & run (mile 31.0), a prime-rated rock pile around 4 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig covers the summer program.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	3 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Riffle & run (mile 31.0) (4 ft)	Ned rig, Tube jig
Summer	3 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Riffle & run (mile 31.0) (4 ft)	Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig
Fall	3 to 10 ft	midday & dawn	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Jerkbait, Blade bait
Winter	3 to 10 ft	midday	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Blade bait, Hair jig

Walleye fishing at Eleven Point River

Early season walleye use the shallows, holding in 3 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 10 ft. The chart's best answer is Riffle & run (mile 31.0) — rock pile, 4 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is the evening and early morning. Tie on a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	3 to 10 ft	dusk & dawn	Riffle & run (mile 31.0) (4 ft)	1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig
Summer	3 to 10 ft	dusk & dawn	Outside-bend hole (mile 0.6) (8 ft)	Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled)
Fall	3 to 10 ft	dusk & night	Outside-bend hole (mile 0.6) (8 ft)	Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow
Winter	3 to 10 ft	dusk & dawn	Outside-bend hole (mile 0.6) (8 ft)	Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait

Brown Trout fishing at Eleven Point River

Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 10 ft. The chart's best answer is Current seam (mile 19.2) — current seam, 6 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	1 to 10 ft	dawn & dusk	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines
Summer	3 to 10 ft	night & dawn	Current seam (mile 19.2) (6 ft)	Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night)
