How to fish New Holland Lake: shallow, weed-oriented water

Topping out around 16 feet, this is a shallow fishery where weed growth, not depth, structures the water. The contours still matter: the deepest hole concentrates fish in high summer and under ice, and subtle one-band depressions are the spots most anglers row straight past. In winter, shallow lakes like this are often first to make safe ice, and the deepest mapped hole is the classic starting point.

Ice fishing on New Holland Lake

The deepest mapped hole is the classic starting point because it concentrates fish once weed beds die back, and the subtle depressions on the map above are the spots most anglers walk straight past.
