The FAN Smack Down on Stillhouse Hollow presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors will be the second qualifying tournament of the season and will begin to sharpen down the field for the 2017/18 Chase for the Champions and the Berkley Select Angler of the Year along with the Toyota Cedar Park AOY Scholarship Award. A combined $8,000 total in scholarships funds will be awarded this season.
Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir impounded in 1968 located 5 miles west of Belton has 6,429 surface acres and a max depth of 107 feet with an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass.
We are excited to bring FAN HSF to a new lake this year and being the second qualifier of the year, it will be another fun “smack down’ for sure.
BOATER ADVISORY: Zebra mussels have infested this reservoir! CLEAN, DRAIN AND DRY your boat, trailer, livewells/bait buckets, and other gear before traveling to another water body. Draining water is required by law and possession and transport of zebra mussels is illegal.
With an impressive win at the Toyota Cedar Park Lake Travis Take the Hyde Park team of Bryan Trenasty and Sam Haager have put themselves is a great spot to be the first team to qualify for the Chase for the Champions in April of 2018 . However; with 2 more qualifiers and a Wild Card there are many opportunities to qualify and the AOY race is wide open.
