Holiday Lake Upper is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Lee County.
Holiday Lake Upper sits in Lee County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one straightforward shoreline stretch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the first few casts. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Holiday Lake Upper does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number before trusting a number and stay around one manageable section of water until I get a clear read from the first hour.
Known fish for Holiday Lake Upper include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, so I would build the first part of the day around the species I most want at one nearby section of water and avoid switching until I learn something from the first setup. If bass are present in Holiday Lake Upper, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one short part of the lake; I would change it only when I learn something from the first adjustment.
If I were seeing Holiday Lake Upper for the first time, I would work one sheltered part of the lake with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. If I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would stay around one straightforward part of the lake on Holiday Lake Upper and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would leave Holiday Lake Upper knowing that one promising starting zone deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
