I can tell you with certainty that any of them in that hour north-ish of Columbia neighborhood will tell you exactly what you

There's one in the Lake of the Ozarks region. When I talked with them last Fall and again this year, they were good about not trying to sell to me against their recommendations. They wanted me to hold off stocking last Fall and wait for Spring and they just told me to hold off on the bass until next Fall.
