With about 1.6 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Havana sits 8.8 miles from here and is the nearest stop. The nearest city of size is Tallahassee, 9.3 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Holley Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Read Holley Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 81°F on average, January about 51°F. The season is continuous, with heat as the only real check. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Holley Pond around it. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Moore Pond at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. For Holley Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
