LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. Fish the main lake points and pockets with buzz baits, frogs and number #7 Shad Rap. The first three hours of the day seem to be the best. The Carolina rigged lizard and worm are still working in the deeper water and some bass are still chasing tiny schooling thread fin shad. One way to eat the tiny bait the fish are after is to tie on a clear Zara Spook and add a three foot leader of 6 pound fluorocarbon and a small white fly. Just work the Spook and the fly will dance. Use the Chug Bugs and Skitter Pops are fair. For the best worm rig get the 1/8 ounce Weedless Wonder lead head and add a Zoom green pumpkin finesse worm and hit the reef markers and a rip rap and rocky point.
