Thomas Hill Reservoir

Thomas Hill Reservoir located southwest of Macon, MO and features great crappie and hybrid bass fishing.  The property is owned by Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. and was constructed to provide a source of water to cool the power plant during energy production. This makes some of the best winter fishing around due to the release of warm water into the lake.
