Fish and Useful Baits at Lake Stanmor

Fish reported from Lake Stanmor include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Lake Stanmor can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Lake Stanmor crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Lake Stanmor take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Lake Stanmor.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Lake Stanmor for channel catfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Stanmor

Begin at a point or shoreline turn and work from shallow water toward the first useful depth change on Lake Stanmor. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Lake Stanmor that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Lake Stanmor

On Lake Stanmor, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Lake Stanmor is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Lake Stanmor, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
