Walleye

Little dink this morning, just glad i was ale to get out and get the line wet

So I accidentally broke the creek record today first cast. After that the bite died and I’m just grateful I could catch another one. Tight Lines!

I caught a Green Sunfish at Holmes Lake in Nebraska

I caught a Black Crappie at Holmes Lake in Nebraska

I caught a Walleye at Holmes Lake in Nebraska

Caught him last cast while it was thundering! This is the luckiest fish I have ever caught and I was blessed out of my mind with this fish! Oh the things god can do for you.

Let’s go baby biggest one out of the creek yet!

Mr dinkerman on the wacky rig. He choked it but he lives on!

Went out this evening to do a little last ditch bass fishing, and the lake was half iced over! Luckily I managed to find some open water, and caught a little walleye on a brand new lure!!! Bout froze my fingers off, wind chill of 13 degrees! 

I haven't caught a bass lately, but the walleye bite has sure picked up! I decided to try a new color worm tonight. Only a couple casts in and he absolutely smoked the dinger!!! Pretty stoked! 

It seems like walleye like the wacky rig too!

Surprising catch while bass fishing... My first walleye ever!!! He absolutely smoked the dinger! I'm glad I didn't lip him! Lol 😂 #Yum

Tough fishing this evening, very cold and windy! Real feel of 24 degrees. Caught one, couldn't resist the yum dinger! Wacky rig!!!

It’s pretty good fishing but is a little overfished

Holmes lake rate

They may not always be the big winners, but I always catch something. On any given day crappie, walleye, large mouth bass, lots or pumpkin seed, bluegill, and sun fish is what we get. Lots of places to fish, day and night. Closes at 11. Nice place to bring your family.

Never a dull moment

For whatever reason I have never had the best of luck here. I’ve fished here, because of the convenience, more than any where else and only caught a handful of fish, none of which have been great. Never can get on a roll like at other lakes.  It almost always is windy as well even when it doesn’t seem to be anywhere else. Which makes it all the more difficult.  Might just be me though.  I could just not be fishing it right but I have tried almost everything.  🎣

It’s convenient but not the best in my opinion.

nice for a short trip to fish and release. lots of fish here. wish I could more often come fishing . Anglers Hello and good luck with the rest of the summer

lots of good spots to fish, plenty of bass, cats and panfish with seasonal trout
