Our Fisheries Biologists recently completed spring sampling at Holt Reservoir and results revealed that Largemouth Bass are more abundant and bigger than in previous years. While Holt is typically not known by anglers as a destination lake for bass fishing, Largemouth Bass over 5 pounds were present at 9 out of the 10 randomly selected sites. The four fish pictured weighed between 6.0 – 8.5 lbs. Catch rates of age-1 and age-2 Largemouth Bass were also well above average. Gizzard shad were extremely abundant, especially in the lower end of the lake. With plenty of naturally produced young bass and an abundance of forage, Holt should continue to offer great fishing for several years.
