I have gone out a couple times and figure I should post here. 3 days ago went out and caught 1 trout, friend caught 1, and another friend caught a blue gill. We were fishing on the bottom with wax worms and just jigging them...nothing to fast and furious.
Today I went out with some waxies alone and was killing the blue gill! (of course I catch fish when no one is there!) Tear drop weight and a hook about 1 foot up from that (drop shot) Probably caught 25 of those little buggers most were 6-7 inches some 8 or more, some shorter than 6 (not many). No trout though.

Thanks for the update. That lake should really be a good one by next ice season. They did a great job on the renovation and those bluegill should get big really fast.  I usually drive by there a few times a week on Pioneer St. and I have been seeing guys out there almost every time.

Welcome to IDO Frank. 
I've heard good things about Holmes lake. It's amazing how fast fish will grow in those newly renovated lakes. I'd be willing to bet that Holmes will be the busiest lake in the state come next ice fishing season.  Those gills will be tanks next year.
