Stillhouse Fishing Report
- Jul 24, 2024
- SLOW. Water stained; 87 degrees; 2.23 feet above pool. Surface temperature 86-87F. Fishing has been very hit or miss for both white bass and for largemouth bass thanks to the atypical (cool, damp) weather we have and will continue to experience since Thursday, 18 July through to at least Tuesday, 30 July. White bass are very scattered in the lower half of the lake in small schools either on bottom in less than 25', or suspended above the 25' level. Downrigging with #12 Pet Spoons in areas with heavy shad concentrations is yielding so-so results. With a near 100% loss of hydrilla due to May's flooding, largemouth bass are consolidating on the few remaining rock and wood structures, as well as on topographic features. If you catch fish, fish that area thoroughly, as multiple fish are likely be be holding on available cover. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service.
