Revell Ponds in Holt County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Revell Ponds lies in Holt County, Nebraska. The surroundings are rolling bush. For supplies, O'Neill is 19 miles out. Then Creighton, 26 miles, and Springfield, 28 miles. Within a short run: Bartos Reservoir out at 4.2 miles, Bartos Reservoir Number 2 about 4.6 miles, Haineraich Reservoir out at 7 miles, Becker Reservoir Number 2 about 7.8 miles and Vonasek Reservoir out at 8 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Revell Ponds

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Holt County: common carp, green sunfish, white sucker and brown trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Revell Ponds decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 75°F in July and bottoms out near 20°F in January. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Once it clears, about late March, the fishing comes on quickly. Average temperatures cross freezing around late March in spring and again near early December in autumn. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Revell Ponds.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Bartos Reservoir, 4.2 miles away. None of that is settled for Revell Ponds in what we hold.
