Number 106 Lake, Missouri: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Number 106 Lake is a Henry County water, Missouri side. This is open valley ground. This is a pocket water of some 6 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. On size it sits at the modest end of our Henry County list. Supplies mean a trip to Clinton, 9.4 miles off. East Independence is the closest city, 53 miles away. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Number 106 Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Records held for Henry County cover green sunfish, channel catfish, black bullhead and orangethroat darter. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 78°F; by January the average is down near 27°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Number 131 Reservoir, 4.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
