Fellows Lake

Anglers know Fellows Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Missouri, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Fellows Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
