Hollis Pond, Alabama: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Hollis Pond lies in Coffee County, in Alabama. Dry hill runs right down to the water. Surface area runs to about 14 acres — small enough to read in one session. Some 3 miles away sits New Brockton, the nearest settlement. Enterprise is 6.8 miles away, with Level Plains at 9.9 miles. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Hollis Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, redear sunfish and blue catfish. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. At Hollis Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 48°F in January to roughly 80°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. It sets the rhythm of the year at Hollis Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Pittman Brothers Lake at 1.5 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Hollis Pond in what we hold.
