Most waters don't allow for holdover trout to survive and the ones that do have extremely small populations. You seem to have found the exception to the rule.

I agree with you there are definitely a lot of places they cant holdover/holdover in small numbers. But i also think there are more places they can holdover in than people realize!

The perseverance that trout have, and the mystery of where they are, really makes wild/holdover trout fishing incomparably fun.

Yeah thats what I'm saying, a lot more holdover than people realize. Love searching for them!
