Thread: Holmes’s Bend Boat Ramp

3ft above Summer Pool is no problem for HB's ramp. Now the courtesy "dock" will be inaccessible (under water), but idling the boat over to the main dock & walking back to the vehicle shouldn't be any problem.

That’s what I was thinking. I have a pair of high boots that I could pull over by the beach. I think they put a new gate up that prevents access without a code right next to the cleaning station. Hadn’t been out since mid December so I think I’ll give it a try, getting withdraws . Thanks

If you're there when the marina is open, that gate will be open. (I think it will, anyway)

Did you make out, what shape was the water in and temp if you made it there. Thanks

Well I made it to Holmes Bend yesterday and really had no problem putting in. Lake came up about 3 in. For the day. Caught a few nice ones and ended up with 10 keepers and about 25 shorts. Mostly went to scout out some areas. Found most fish near channels but some scattered on flats. Spider rig with minnows from Horseshoe Bend to the bridge. Water was heavy stained with visibility less than a foot. Water temperature started out at 49 and was almost 52 by end of the day. Not as much debris as I thought but did see a few trees and logs floating. I had also did some work on my boat over the winter and needed to test that. All in all a great day to be back on the water.

682 the water level is right at the top of the ramp.

Thanks. I knew it was somewhere around that. In a truck you can back thru some water but I now have a SUV and it doesn’t sit as high. I like your early morning pictures. Hope to see you on the water soon.
