LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN .9 FEET, CLEAR & 64 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair. The best areas are the flat points on the left hand side as you head up the river. Use the crank baits and the Glass Shad Raps and Deep Warts are working in either crawfish or shad patters. When the fishing gets slow, try changing baits and fish some of the same secondary points and small coves and cuts you fished with the RS Shad Raps and a Fat Free Shad crank bait. Deeper water structure is producing. Fish the reef markers on the river and also fish the channel ledges in the Beaverdam Creek area. There are plenty of stumps and brush piles there that are holding good bass.
