• Where to Fish on Still Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike and pumpkinseed. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish Still Lake to its features, not to its size.
