The Holloway Lake
Association observed the
50th. Anniversary of the
Holloway Dam & Reservoir in
2005.

The HLA Newsletter will
celebrate the occasion by
publishing special reports
about the land, the people,
the water, and this remarkable
structure.  We hope that all
friends of Holloway Reservoir
will be better informed and
become advocates to
preserve the recreational and
residential opportunities it
provides.
Holloway Dam
Counter
The DAM GATES were
closed on Tuesday of
this week,
(April 15, 2008 TWO
WEEKS EARLY), and the
water is on the rise.
Good news for those
who fish,
BAD NEWS FOR THE
HOMEOWNERS
who thought they had
another two weeks to
prepare for the summer.  
If you have shoreline
work that needs to be
completed and docks to
put in, you will have to
get it done this weekend
(if you don’t want to be
standing in the water).
A copy of the Agreement
between the Parks and
City of Flint was
delivered to the Water
Department.
THEY ACTED WITHOUT
NOTIFYING US FIRST.
The Board will be
addressing this issue
next week at the May
board meeting.
Joe Leonardi, DNR Fisheries
Division
Report of Walleye Survey from
the DEQ to the MDNR
A special thanks to all those who showed up for the Annual
Holloway Spring Clean-up, Saturday, April 19th, 2008.  We had a
great turnout and and beautiful day this year.  The Stanley Road
Fishing Site and Goose Point were much easier this year (than in
past years) and took very little time to pick up only one years’
collection of debris left by visitors.  Mt Morris Rd Fishing Site and
around the south side of the Mt Morris Road Bridge took much more
effort.  All together two very large pickup truck beds full of garbage,
abandoned tires, mattress and even a couple ancient adding
machines were recovered.  In all it took us only about two and a
half hours to collect it all.  
Again thanks for all the help!!!!!!  YOU DID GREAT WORK!!!!!
