Holiday Lake Fishing in Burlington County, New Jersey

• Overview

  Burlington County, New Jersey, is where Holiday Lake sits. It lies 10 feet above sea level. Small at around 2 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Burlington County standards. Delanco is the closest place, 1.8 miles off. Further out sit Beverly (2.2 miles) and Edgewater Park (2.7 miles). Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Holiday Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Burlington County records list pumpkinseed, bluegill and largemouth bass among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Holiday Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 76°F and January at 32°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Holiday Lake fishes to that pattern most years. Spring warms the shallows first, so start there.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Olympia Lakes sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Holiday Lake locally before you travel.
