• Overview

  Lake Glen Rose is one of the Jefferson County listings for Missouri. It stands 627 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 3 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Jefferson County list. Supplies mean a trip to Arnold, 4.2 miles off. For a city, St. Louis is 20 miles off. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Lake Glen Rose

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Fish documented in Jefferson County include orangethroat darter, longear sunfish, rainbow darter and bluegill. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Lake Glen Rose light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 78°F and January near 30°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. The season on Lake Glen Rose follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Four Ridge Lake, 2.1 miles away. The position on Lake Glen Rose is worth confirming on the day.
