Kinnett Lake Fishing Guide, Russell County, Alabama

• Overview

  Out in Russell County, Alabama, sits Kinnett Lake. The bank is 367 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. The nearest place of any size is Ladonia, 0.8 miles away. Then Phenix City, 4.2 miles, and Smiths Station, 4.5 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Kinnett Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, blackbanded darter, redbreast sunfish and longear sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. The shape of Kinnett Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 81°F for July and 46°F for January. It fishes twelve months of the year. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. It sets the rhythm of the year at Kinnett Lake. Fish feed harder before a change in weather than after it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Preers Pond sits 2.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Kinnett Lake.
