Happy Hollow Lake Fishing in Leavenworth County, Kansas

• Overview

  Happy Hollow Lake stands in Leavenworth County, Kansas. The water sits 922 feet up. The water measures roughly 6 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Some 6.6 miles away sits Leavenworth, the nearest settlement. After that come Weston at 8.4 miles and Lansing at 10 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Happy Hollow Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Leavenworth County records list orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish and black bullhead among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Happy Hollow Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 78°F and January about 27°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Happy Hollow Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lake Stellamaris sits 2.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Happy Hollow Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
