Holliday Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  Holliday Lake sits in Thunder Bay District, out in Ontario. Land around it is northern bush. At about 14 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Roughly 1.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is a small entry by Thunder Bay District standards. Greenstone is the closest town at 57 km. After that come Geraldton at 64 km and Longlac at 79 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Holliday Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Thunder Bay District: cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Holliday Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -20°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Holliday Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. 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. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Wilgar Lake at 1.3 km is the nearest alternative. What applies at Holliday Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
