Still Lake Fishing Guide, Westchester County, New York

• Overview

  Still Lake sits within Westchester County in New York. It lies 492 feet above sea level. About 22 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. You are 3.7 miles from Chappaqua. Then Ossining, 3.8 miles, and Briarcliff Manor, 3.9 miles. More in the same country: Shadow Lake about 0.7 miles, Vernay Lake at 1 mile, Bakwin Pond about 1.1 miles, Echo Lake at 1.4 miles and Dream Lake about 1.6 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Still Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Reported across Westchester County: common carp, striped bass, bluegill and brown trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Still Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 73°F, the coldest about 27°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Still Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Part of this sits inside or beside Warburg Park, so read the notices. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Shadow Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Still Lake locally before you travel.
