Fishing Still Lake in Seminole County, Florida

• Overview

  Still Lake stands in Seminole County, Florida. Elevation runs to 43 feet. Surface area runs to about 19 acres — small enough to read in one session. The closest town, Geneva, is 1.4 miles away. Orlando sits 22 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Still Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, swamp darter and dollar sunfish. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Read Still Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 81°F on average, January about 59°F. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Still Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Lake Proctor Wilderness Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lake Proctor sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Still Lake if anything is unclear.
