Pleasant Hill Lake Fishing Report & Review
GFO visited Pleasant Hill Lake on June 20, 2017. We had a beautiful partly cloudy day with 10 – 20 mph winds. The water temperature ranged from 69 degrees in the creek channel on the shallow end, to 79 degrees in the deeper waters by the dam.
The lake is a combination of very shallow waters (<1 foot – 3 feet) and very deep waters (20+ feet), with some rocky, some wooded shorelines. The shallow end is a flooded stump field.
Caught our fish within the first hour in the morning off shady banks around logs with a spinnerbait. Missed another with a black & red frog on grass near the shoreline. We spoke to a fisherman who caught 1 crappie and one large catfish, and a shore fisherman who had a bucket full of small bluegill. We saw some anglers trolling as well.
The boat ramp was very well maintained and not crowded. There is a marina shop directly across with gas, live bait, boat rental and more.
If you are camping, the campground is lakefront and has another ramp accessible only to campers. Pleasant Hill Lake is a very popular recreational lake also.
