Mark Twain lake is open

[fireman6458]

I went to Mark Twain yesterday, put in at Ray Behrens ramp and fished just below the bridge in a few coves. Water temp was around 38 in the main lake and a few small spots in coves around 45. Went down to south fork and found some 45 degree water near the bridge. The fish still seem to be suspended in 15-20 ft. of water and did not have any success with catching any, although had a few soft strikes on a crankbait. It won't be long now and it should be getting real good. The lake is up about 8 feet over pool and should be cresting anytime.
