Stillhouse Hollow Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass is the most abundant fish in the reservoir, although there is also a good population of smallmouth bass. Fair to good populations of channel catfish are also available.

Cover & Structure

Stillhouse Hollow is an extremely clear and deep reservoir. The main lake area is dominated by steep rocky shoreline with limited amounts of standing timber. There are also numerous beds of hydrilla in the lower lake.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing is best during spring and fall when water temperatures range from the mid-50s to the mid-70s. At first light, topwater baits fished on rocky points or over hydrilla beds can be good. Later in the day, drop a heavy jig or large worm into matted hydrilla in 5'-15' of water. Smallmouth bass can be good year round. Topwaters and crankbaits fished around rocky points and riprap can be very productive.
