Stillhouse Fishing Report
- Feb 5, 2025
- GOOD. Water stained; 50 degrees; 2.74 feet below pool. Fishing is good for white bass with significant numbers of large white bass in the catch over 14 inches. Mornings tend to fish better than afternoons, and grey, breezy days in the midst of, or at the end of warming trends produce more fish than the bright, clear, calm days following cold fronts. Gulls and terns are helpful, especially in the mornings. These birds will help you get to the general area which fish and bait are using, but relying on well-tuned side imaging to find the "spot-on-the-spot" will produce more fish than just fishing under the birds randomly. The white, 5/8 ounce Bladed Hazy Eye Slab with stinger hook has been a solid bet since late November and continued producing fish this week. A slow-smoking tactic worked best wherein the slab is slowly reeled upwards to be followed by bottom-hugging fish, or is slowly reeled upwards past suspended fish -- regardless, once fish begin following, you must keep moving the bait to get bit. Water level rose slightly due to rains on January 26 taking the lake from 2.90 feet low to 2.74 feet low. The temperature warmed from 48 degrees up to 51 degrees.
