Johns Hole Pool is a lake in Bonneville County, Idaho.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Johns Hole Pool is a lake in Bonneville County, Idaho and covers about 107.61 acres.
Johns Hole Pool can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
On a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a careful second pass near a windblown shore near firm bottom, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During the first hour near the outside weed line with a moving bait, rainbow Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
On a cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near a windblown shore before changing depth, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
On a bright afternoon near an open-water edge in stained water, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
