What are the most popular months to go river fishing in Stillhouse Hollow Lake?

River fishing seasons in Stillhouse Hollow Lake offer anglers diverse opportunities throughout the year, influenced by seasonal changes and fish behavior.

Crappie fishing also peaks in spring, with these fish congregating near spawning areas and submerged brush piles.

Summer brings warmer temperatures to Stillhouse Hollow Lake, prompting many fish species to seek deeper, cooler waters. Largemouth bass fishing remains productive, although anglers may need to adjust their tactics to target fish in deeper structures and along drop-offs. Early mornings and late evenings are ideal times to fish when temperatures are cooler and fish are more active near the surface.

Anglers often use cut bait, chicken liver, or prepared stink baits to entice these bottom-dwelling fish in deeper holes and channels.

Fall offers another peak season for fishing in Stillhouse Hollow Lake as water temperatures cool down and fish become more aggressive in their feeding habits. Largemouth bass fishing picks up again as fish prepare for winter by feeding heavily on baitfish. Crankbaits, jigs, and spinnerbaits are effective lures during this time, especially around rocky points and submerged vegetation. Crappie fishing remains strong throughout fall, with fish moving into shallower waters and around docks and brush piles. Anglers can enjoy comfortable temperatures and scenic views during this season, making it a favorite time for fishing on the lake.
