• Where to Fish on Holbrook Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Capitol Planning Region include bluegill, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and chain pickerel. The county list is broader than any single water. Holbrook Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.
