Stillhouse Fishing Report
- May 1, 2024
- GOOD. Water stained; 70 degrees; 13.42 feet below pool. Thanks to continued, abundant rains, the lake has risen 1.17 feet in the last 10 days and is now 13.42 feet low with a wet extended forecast ahead. White bass have begun to show up on topographies closer and closer to the main basin. Fish the white, 5/8 ounce Bladed Hazy Eye Slab vertically from a fixed position until the fish quit responding, then check side-imaging for fish to the side of your boat. Cast MAL Heavy Lures with chartreuse tails and work them with a sawtooth pattern after they sink to bottom, seven cranks in, then let the lure sink back to bottom, seven cranks in, and so on until back to the boat. Largemouth bass fishing continues to be excellent with reports of frog fishing in the flooded shoreline terrestrial vegetation, and reports of weightless worm fishing over top of the newly flooded hydrilla. The outside edge of hydrilla beds in the lower two-thirds of the lake continue to produce as they do in spring, summer, and fall. Dark, natural hues have always produced well on this lake. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service.
