Fishing at Beasleys Pond, Russell County, Alabama

• Overview

  The Russell County end of Alabama holds Beasleys Pond. The setting is oak and grass on every side. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. On size it sits at the modest end of our Russell County list. Start from Union Springs, 18 miles down the road. Then Tuskegee, 20 miles, and Inverness, 24 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Beasleys Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover blackbanded darter, bluegill, longear sunfish, redfin pickerel and backwater darter. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Treat Beasleys Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 46°F and July at about 80°F, the water has a wide range to work through. There is no frozen season to plan round. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on Beasleys Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Sehoy Lake is 7.2 miles off. For Beasleys Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
