Fishing The Blue Hole in Greene County, Georgia

• Overview

  The Blue Hole belongs to Greene County, Georgia. This is oak and grass ground. At 3 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Greene County list. Start from Mount Zion, 7.3 miles down the road. The big place round here is Athens, 40 miles distant. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on The Blue Hole

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include yellowfin shiner. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. The near bank of The Blue Hole is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 80°F, the coldest about 43°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On The Blue Hole that shapes the whole year. Long daylight spreads fish out; short daylight concentrates them.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Credille Lake, 5.2 miles away.
