Holmes Run - worth a trip?

[Michael Landy]

I haven't seen much activity around Holmes Run in some time, I think that last post was: Gang members convicted of murders in Holmes Run Park. 

Planning taking a quick trip this weekend, has anyone been recently? Probably start near the Barcroft dam and hit some of the pools heading down stream.

Personally I park at the other end (Chambliss Road) and work my way up. You get the best pools that way and don't have to worry so much about your car.

Probably not.

Warm water species this time of year. Tiny bass, bluegill, eels, etc.

I hate to say it, but I love fishing Holmes run. I went four days in a row a couple of weeks ago and only met two other people who even looked like they were thinking about fishing (one said he caught a snapping turtle...).

So many bluegills, but you can watch and catch a bunch of stocked trout too. You don't even need waders which is a huge plus in my book. If you live nearby I'd say it's definitely worth a trip.

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. I'll circle back to everyone know how it goes. Hoping to get out to the next Beer Tie as well. Cheers
