How is the water color on the upper end. Congrats on the catch.
Fished the upper end of the hill today. Crappie were in tight schools in open water. Kept 10 nice size crappie and caught tons of white perch. Much better day than yesterday on Russell.

My intent was to go to PC but I didn’t make it there, wish I had because I’d like to know. I fished RC and it had a perfect light stain.
RC?
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Only thing Ive ever caught in Russell Creek were hybrids. Its been alooooooong time since Ive been in there. Got a bunch of warnings in the back of that creek once for shooting garfish in the back where the bushes were. I didnt have squat in my boat other than me and one lifejacket. The GW gave me a warning but said he could fine me as much as $500 for everything I had wrong in my boat. That was back-in-the-day though. That's also the first place I ever saw a canadian goose nest when they were trying to get them established on Clark Hill Lake.

The line sides were definitely there also. I didn’t catch any big ones but hooked into some small ones that put up a good fight on an ultralight. I feel like that 500 dollar fine threat may have come from shooting that goose.lol I wouldn’t typically choose RC for crappie they just happen to be right at the boat ramp nothing really up or down from it. Although I caught them fairly well last year night fishing. It was kind of the same situation of marking a few and saying what the heck, let’s try this. The trees can definitely screw things up. I tried doing a little long lining in there and got a little frustrated when a few rods got hung all at the same time, not once but twice.
RC not only has standing timber, it has an entire forest! You can longline the outer part on the north side and the back part in the channel, everywhere else is forest. (and snagged jigs)
Several years ago, my buddy caught his personal best Crappie in there while we were pulling herring for stripers.
