Stillhouse Hollow
FAIR. Water stained; 82 degrees; 0.07 feet above pool.
Due to two mild and dry cold fronts, our weather has been consistent with high pressure, clear, bright skies, and consistent temperature fluctuations day by day. This has produced some visible, fishable topwater action on the lower third of Stillhouse with a mixture of largemouth bass and white bass pinning threadfin shad against the surface.
The water is very clear so keeping excess hardware to a minimum on your presentations is a must. The more quickly and more accurately casts are made to “boiling” fish, the more likely a presentation is to be eaten.
Clear Spook Jr.’s, clear 3-inch grubs on unpainted jig heads, or shad-imitating streamers behind popping corks are solid bets for these schooling fish going from 7:50-10 a.m.
