Lake Allaman, Missouri: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Allaman is a Clinton County water, in Missouri. It stands 922 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 6 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Clinton County. 5.9 miles away sits Cameron, the nearest town. The big place round here is East Independence, 40 miles distant. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Lake Allaman

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public occurrence data for Clinton County names green sunfish, bluegill and johnny darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lake Allaman decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 77°F and January near 25°F on the long-run figures. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Lake Allaman that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is a car park 110 yards from the bank. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Sloan Lake at 3.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lake Allaman should be assumed from this page alone.
