A clear night sky over the water, with flat calm through the day and the barometer heading up. Give the margins and the shelf beyond them the first hour at Cedar Hill Lake Number 2. The day fishes best from night into morning. Fish confidently and change only when the bites stop. Autumn fish are feeding up and less fussy than in summer.
The bites are excellent now

You will find Cedar Hill Lake Number 2 in Jefferson County, Missouri. The ground around here is rolling hill. About 10 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is low-lying compared with other Missouri water we list. Cedar Hill lies 2.1 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is St. Louis, 32 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.
Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. County-wide records name orangethroat darter, longear sunfish and rainbow darter. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.
The range across the year is 30°F to 78°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. This water fishes to that pattern most years. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lake Adelle is 0.8 miles distant. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
