Billfo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Looking for correct folder. Most of my fising has been on Big Indian and around Baxter. Looks like I will have the opportunity to fish the White River around Holiday Island. If I were looking for info on fishing that stretch of water- where should I look ? Thanks for the info.

Billfo Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 When and what species desired? Basically, Is the fishing about the same as it is on Big Indian/Baxter area ? LG Mouth , Spots, some smallmouth ? I hear there are more Walleye & Trout around Holiday Island. I have no idea if the water is 4 feet or 40 feet deep there. Table Rock Lake is pretty famous.. Ya dont hear much about "Holiday Island"- even thought it is somewhat "Table Rock Lake-White River". Guess looking for real experience basic fishing "opportunities" . Personally I like Northern Pike (no chance of catching one of those on Table Rock), but do like catching LG mouth. Email me Red-Right-Returning is for quitters !
rps Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 The channel, at the point of your picture, is around 30 fow right now while the lake is down. The trout are mostly five miles upstream or more. Up there the channel is 10 to 15 feet right now. Down stream from here to Eagle Rock is 6 or so miles and the channel at that point is 50 feet or so right now. Largemouth and spots are abundant. Smallmouth exist, but not in the numbers you see closer to the dam. Yes we have walleye as well. I have lived in and fished out of Holiday Island for 13 years and all the reports I have posted on this board start from the marina here. If you search the archives for my posts you will get a good idea of what is available. PM me for more specifics.

Members Albiontiger_34 Posted March 26, 2015 Members Posted March 26, 2015 I love the Holiday Island tips. I spend my family vacations on the island, and we are always looking for places to venture out and drown worms with the kids. rps 1
rps Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I love the Holiday Island tips. I spend my family vacations on the island, and we are always looking for places to venture out and drown worms with the kids. If the kids are small and bluegill your target, the flat point right at the mouth of the marina cove always has hand size and larger bluegill. From time to time a walleye will be there as well. Start at the carved tree (eagle) and work back toward the cove opening very slowly dragging a split shot rig. Near the mouth the point hooks out toward the channel for quite a way.

Members Albiontiger_34 Posted March 26, 2015 Members Posted March 26, 2015 This is the first fish my son caught on Holiday Island last year. He was pretty nervous about giving that monster a hand. Billfo and rps 2
