Table Rock Lake is a lake full of fishing adventures from anything from perch to various bass species to paddlfish and catfish, as well as walleye. It is actually closer to Shell Knob Missouri than it is Branson, Even Kimberling City is closer. Both towns offer abundant lodging resort style, with many locally owned family type eaterys. I lived in Shell Knob for 8 yrs, and often go back to fish my favorite spots, so if you want an adventure you will remember for along time to come, Table Rock Lake in Shell Knob is your "quite side " of the lake.
