Devils Hole, Louisiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Devils Hole is an Ouachita Parish water, Louisiana side. Height above sea level is 75 feet. Around 133 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. Sterlington lies 1.7 miles from the water. It is 96 miles to Shreveport, the nearest city. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish. The far side sees far fewer people than the near one.

• Where to Fish on Devils Hole

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include gizzard shad, bluegill and logperch. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Devils Hole the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 82°F and January about 44°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to Devils Hole by conditions rather than dates.

Should this one be busy, Hamilton Lake is 1.4 miles off. Ask locally about Devils Hole if anything is unclear.
