A crisp, open sky after dark, with a light WSW breeze with a firming glass. On Holly Lake, work the shallows early and the drop later first. The strongest window runs from night into morning. Stay mobile and follow the activity. Autumn rewards covering water while the fish roam.

Holly Lake stands in Teton County, Wyoming. Elevation runs to 9,439 feet. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our Teton County list holds plenty of bigger water. Supplies mean a trip to Driggs, 16 miles off. For a city, Billings is 178 miles off. This one is safely inside the county line. The water is easy to walk round in a long session.
Depth figures are not published for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Teton County names mountain whitefish, lake trout, Utah sucker, brown trout and brook trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Holly Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.
Climate normals give 51°F for July and 15°F for December. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late May. Average temperatures cross freezing around late May in spring and again near early November in autumn. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Holly Lake.
No access rule appears in what we hold. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Grizzly Bear Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Holly Lake are worth checking on the day.
