Best colors

[lipperdog]

I know how hard lake Russell can be what was the best colors and sizes for the day. Thanks for any help because I'm still learning what they like on Russell.

For me I used chartreuse and yellow heads and a black-gold glitter/chart, junebug/chart and a chart/black-gold/chart tied jig. This was fishing in stained water.

With Russell the colors can change from day to day. I also use my Stump's Fire-Tiger tied jig, a Tennessee Shad in curly tail or Slider. If fishing the clear water I will go to some light colors but on that lake the dark colors also work in the clear water because of all the timber you are fishing around. Blue/white, pink/chart. chart/ pink and any body color with a chartreuse tail works well. Don't over look solid jig colors like white, black, chartreuse, blue, pearl and the list goes on.
