 Holland
Lake is a beautiful lake lying right on the western edge
of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. Besides offering
excellent fly fishing in a scenic environment, Holland
Lake is a very nice day use area, a large campground,
and serves as a major trailhead for entry into the Bob
Marshall Wilderness Area.
Holland Lake is
anything but a wilderness lake. Numerous summer homes ring
the lake, although it is a far cry from a typical summer
getaway lake. The lake is very popular for recreational
boating and waterskiing, particularly on summer weekend
days. If you are searching for solitude, stay away from
Holland Lake on the weekend during the summer.
During the off-season,
though, as well as on weekday summer days; Holland Lake
is not overly used. In short, if you plan on fishing Holland
Lake, do it during the weekdays or the fall or spring.
 Holland
Lake has excellent fishing for rainbow trout, cutthroat
trout, and whitefish. Kokanee salmon and bull trout are
also found in Holland Lake. Due to the fairly large size
of the lake and all the private property that lies around
it, shore fishing really can't be done successfully. As
such, a boat of one variety or another really needs to
be used to successfully fish Holland Lake. Canoes, motorboats,
inflatable kayaks, pontoon boats and float tubes can all
be used successfully on Holland Lake (although the large
size of the lake will make for some long kicks in a float
tube). The best trout fishing will be found along the shoreline,
particularly in the morning and evening hours.
Holland Lake has
very easy access. It is located just a short drive up a
decent gravel road from Highway 83. The town of Seeley
Lake lies about twenty miles south of the lake and provides
most services that a visiting angler could want. The small
town of Condon is also nearby and offers a few services
as well.
