Largemouth Bass

Recent activity on Sand Hollow Reservoir has focused on largemouth bass in fall patterns. On July 13, 2025, an angler reported success using a drop shot technique in submerged vegetation at a water temperature of 81°F, targeting crawfish as forage. This report demonstrates the effectiveness of precision presentations during summer-to-fall transitions when bass relate to deeper structure.

Historical reports from August 2021 indicate that spinnerbaits worked well on humps in deeper water, with bluegill serving as the primary forage. Anglers also reported success with drop shot and ned rig presentations. Another August 2021 report noted that with low water levels, schools of bluegill concentrated in 15–25 foot depths, and running small swimbaits along the tops of tall grass proved productive during early morning and evening hours.

Smallmouth Bass

While specific recent catch details for smallmouth bass are limited in the current window, Sand Hollow Reservoir is recognized as a fishery where smallmouth bass are commonly pursued alongside largemouth species, particularly during fall patterns.

Crappie

Crappie are listed among the commonly fished species at Sand Hollow Reservoir during fall, though detailed recent catch reports with specific techniques and locations were not available in the current search window.

Weather & Marine Conditions

Current water temperature at Sand Hollow Reservoir is 63°F, indicating a transition into cooler fall conditions typical for late October. This temperature range supports active feeding behavior in largemouth bass and other warm-water species as they adjust to seasonal changes. Wind conditions should be monitored for optimal fishing windows, as calmer periods typically produce better results during fall transitions.

Fishing Conditions & Tips

Fall fishing at Sand Hollow Reservoir requires targeting fish in deeper structure. Largemouth bass during this season relate to deep humps and ledges in the 25–30 foot range adjacent to grass edges, with secondary structure found at grass line transitions in 20–30 foot depths. Crawfish and bluegill remain the primary forage, with bluegill particularly important as fry concentrate in shallow areas during evening hours.

Top techniques reported for largemouth bass include drop shot rigs, soft body swimbaits (small to medium), bladed jigs, Carolina rigs, and ned rigs. Spinnerbaits continue to be effective in deeper water, especially when slow-rolled over structure. Early morning and evening periods produce the most consistent action, particularly when targeting bluegill spawning areas and shallow cover transitions.

Water clarity and structure visibility are enhanced by the current cooler temperatures. Anglers should focus on transitions between grass and rock in mid-depth zones (15–25 feet) during midday periods, then shift to shallower areas during low-light hours. The presence of tall submerged vegetation throughout the reservoir makes precision casting and vertical presentations essential for success.
