Melvern Lake - Outlet Area
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The outlet area below Melvern Lake dam on the Marais des Cygnes River offers productive fishing for channel catfish, white bass, and crappie. Spring white bass runs below the dam are a local tradition, with fish stacking up in the tailwaters during upstream spawning migrations. Bank access is good and the area is well-maintained by the Corps of Engineers.
