Description of Water

Roaring River’s headwater start within Roaring River State Park and flow to Table Rock Lake. The stream itself, outside of the State Park is a managed trout fishery for its entire 6 miles, but the better concentrations of fish lie within the first 3 miles.

The stream is a typical small ozark stream, but there is a variety of water types within this stream. Be sure to bring a smaller fly rod and smaller flies to ensure success on this stream.
