[Fin-S-Fish]

I agree with all the above. Holmes Creek was one of the places where I learned to bed fish for bass and sight fish cruisers as well. Yes there has always been a forage problem. Even back in the day the bass were never fat. They were just average health. I did land a 21 and 1/4 inch bass there but the poor skinny female was just barely over 4lbs. A bass of that length is normally around 6lbs give or take. There were numbers of your run of the mill 15 -17 inch fish. The community pond event destroyed it! I'm thinking the rainbows ate all the fry of all species too since this water is pretty much sterile now. I walked around the entire pond last year.....no bass beds at all. If I can't find a bass.......well good luck everyone else. haha. I'm sure there's still a few in there, but few and far in between. It's the same with Kaysville. There used to be tons of bass in there and they were double or triple the size at Holmes but then they just had to drain it and kill all the bass so they could dredge it deeper for trout. DUMB move! There's nothing much to get me to stop by Davis county ponds anymore. Straight north I go LOL.
