MDC sampling notes on Limpp Community Lake
The 2026 Missouri Fishing Prospects says this about Limpp Community Lake:
This small lake was built in the 1960s and offers a concrete boat ramp, ADA accessible privy, and grass trail around the lake. Over the years, the lake has received higher rates of siltation from surrounding agricultural land in its watershed. Despite shallow depths in the upper arms, the main body of the lake maintains adequate depths and offers good fishing for channel catfish and largemouth bass. Channel catfish are stocked regularly and offer consistent catch rates for fish from 16"-24".
