As it leaves the town of LeRoy, in Genesee County, Oatka Creek is a low-quality warm-water fishery that all but dries up in the summer. However, at an area known as the Blue Hole, near Circular Hill Road, the Oatka receives a strong influx of cold spring water and again becomes habitable by trout. Further downstream, at Mumford, the quality of the stream is again reinforced by the cold, clear waters of the famed Spring Creek (see Livingston County). The result is a trout stream that ranks as one of the finest in New York State.
