Blue Hole

Blue Hole is a lake in Somerset County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Blue Hole, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Blue Hole

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Blue Hole, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Blue Hole

Fish reported from Blue Hole include bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, and longear sunfish.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Blue Hole largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Blue Hole for bluegill and related sunfish.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Use a nightcrawler on a light bottom rig for Blue Hole bullheads, especially in quiet water after sunset.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Blue Hole

Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Blue Hole. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Blue Hole before searching the middle.

When to Fish Blue Hole

Spring at Blue Hole favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Blue Hole, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Blue Hole become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
