Holt Lake is a reservoir in Alabama, near Tuscaloosa County.
Holt lies between Bankhead Dam and Holt Dam on the Black Warrior River. That means the water below Bankhead is part of Holt, a useful detail when following a tailwater fishing report.

Sheltered cover offers a slower largemouth approach with a soft plastic, while a river edge lets you try a smaller swimbait for spotted bass. Bluegill are an option for a light float rig in quieter water; keep the worm small enough for the hook.
Confirm that your launch enters Holt's pool. A ramp below Holt Dam puts you downstream of the lake, even if the dam name appears prominently in its directions.
