Not very cooperative most of the time and the size leaves something to be desired. Winter fishing for crappie on Stillhouse is even tougher than spring thru fall.

stillousy .
that lake has 3 things going against it.
1. lack of nutrients flowing in to support good baitfish populations constantly
2. its a very clear, deep lake
3. it has massive water inflows causing frequent, violent fluctuations. crappie dont like that. it displaces habitat, churns up the particulate wood matter, just stresses them.
you can catch a few here and there, but theres much better choices in the centex area.
if u insist you want to go, we used to catch a few in the river channel this time of year, near the bridge tied up at night, casting lighted bobbers into the channel and let them drift.


COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

Spider rig or troll crankbaits slowly in the river channel. Start at the power lines go to gravel crossing and turn around, you will catch fish,

Never had any luck at Stillhouse. Like leanin post said there are much better places in central Texas. If you go south there is Granger and north is Lake Waco.

Gravel Crossing holds crappie this time of year.
