Triple Cove Reservoir near Fulton: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Triple Cove Reservoir belongs to Callaway County, Missouri. Rolling hill runs right down to the water. Small at around 13 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. About 1.2 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Head to Fulton, 10 miles away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Columbia, 17 miles away. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Triple Cove Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell 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. Records held for Callaway County cover orangethroat darter, bluegill, green sunfish and johnny darter. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Anyone new to Triple Cove Reservoir should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 77°F and January about 27°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. At Triple Cove Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.
