Lake Russell water levels are at 474.55 (full pool is 475.00) and the main lake is clear again while the very backs of creeks are dirty. Morning surface water temperatures have dropped to about 82 degrees on the main lake. The striped bass fishing has picked up a little this week on Lake Russell. Target fish in the mid-lake region that are on the edge of timber. Mostly they are holding about 25-30 feet down in 40-50 feet of water. There are still some black bass around the timber on the main lake, but the best concentrations of bass continue to be around brush in the creek mouths. Fishing 25 feet down is generally the best depth with some of the fish suspended and some on the bottom.
