About this water
Mark Twain Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Salt River in northeast Missouri, covering approximately 18,600 acres. The Frank Russell access area provides boat ramp and bank fishing access to waters known for excellent crappie, largemouth bass, and catfish. Spring crappie fishing around submerged timber and brush piles is particularly productive.
