Tucked-Away Treasures: Holliday Lake
Just before I left on vacation I took the last couple trips for the Tucked-Away Treasures series photographer Sam Dean and I did this summer. Sam was out of town for the ninth trip, so I hauled my daughters along to Holliday Lake near Appomattox.
The lake, part of Holliday Lake State Park, is a pretty good haul -- about a 90-minute drive -- from Roanoke. But the place is beautiful and the fishing was pretty good, especially for Jerry Hughes, pictured here with his impressive fly rod catch of hand-sized sunfish.
Admittedly, I probably won't return to a few of the places we visited on our adventure. This isn't one of them. I'm really looking forward to getting back there next spring when the big bluegills are on their spawning beds.
