Fast and furious at holmes creek

[MRCRESTLINER]

I started ice fishing that pond in 1976 and have never caught a carp or much less seen one in the lake. In the spring fishing for the spawning gills along the shore line and climbing out on the fallen trees I would see large bass and walleye crusing but never a carp and until the boys from Anglers Inn found out about it, a couple friends and I had it pretty much to ourselves in the winter during the late 70's and early 80's. When I first started fishing it there were no houses on the East side and there use to be an old archery range that ran around the East Shore line as well. You may have been one of the curious youngsters who would come down and watch us ice fish. It use to be a true hot spot for catching nice gills, crappie and bass with an occasional walleye thrown in.
