I worked for Reg. 6 DEC and we were up in that area every once in a while doing netting. We didn't actually net the lake itself, but we netted the numerous small trout ponds around it. I know there is some good smallmouth fishing in stillwater reservoir and it also has some splake in it. You might wanna try some topwater lures early in the day and late close to dark for bass. Watch out because the lake it very shallow in spots. A map would be a good investment if there is a map of the lake. Look on the Reg. 6 NYS DEC webpage and you might be able to find one on there. Also, the campsites and numerous lean two's around the lake are great. Free camping. You just have to sign out what number camp site you want and go camp there after you check in with the Ranger. Hope I helped you out. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good fishing!

Been there 100's of times. Bass fishing stick to the rock piles in the AM / PM. If you are going in a boat be careful!! some of those rock piles are just inches below the surface. A few years back I was fishing with me buddy and we watched a ranger remove a milk jug bowie someone placed on a rock pile. 30 minutes later he came back through and riped out his prop on that same rock pile. We still laugh about that one.

well it wasnt that bad we had a row boat so we didnt have to worry about the rocks as much i caught one the 1st night then nothing all day until the night time , later that same night i lost one as well as my freind and cousin. the grandfather caught 2-3 as well.
the lake it self is pretty interesting, even rock piles as big as a table have deer prints on them.
