Devils Bathtub is a lake in California, near Fresno County.
Devils Bathtub is a lake in Fresno County, California and covers about 81.7 acres.
Devils Bathtub is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Devils Bathtub include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Devils Bathtub, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; use a slow bait after the search lure, then fish the same shape nearby.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; match lure size to the visible food, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
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; test a point before fishing a featureless bank; work from shallow to deep, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat bite, 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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
