• Where to Fish on Devils Hole

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The tide is the timetable on this water; two hours either side of the change usually fish hardest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Nearby survey and observation records mention threadfin shad, Atlantic croaker, spot and sand seatrout. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. On Devils Hole that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 51°F and July at about 81°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Every month fishes, though midsummer narrows the useful hours. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Devils Hole runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
