Uhlmann Lake Fishing near Raymore, Missouri

• Overview

  This water sits in Cass County, Missouri. The bank is 994 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 25 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Compared with other Missouri water on our list, it sits high. For a base, Raymore sits 3.6 miles out. Lake Winnebago is 4.3 miles and Peculiar 5.2 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Uhlmann Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Cass County include green sunfish, bluegill, orangethroat darter, slender madtom and channel catfish. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Uhlmann Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 78°F; the cold one sits at 27°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. At Uhlmann Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Sims Lake at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Uhlmann Lake in what we hold.
