Blue Hole is a lake in California, near Calaveras County.
Blue Hole is a lake in Calaveras County, California and covers about 0.5 acres.
Blue Hole is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Blue Hole include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Blue Hole by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; start with the cover closest to deep water, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; work a quiet shoreline, then repeat the first clean pattern.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; make one pass close to bottom; match the hook and line to the named target.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
