Cedar View Recreation Reservoir, Nebraska: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Cedar View Recreation Reservoir is a Fillmore County water, in Nebraska. The ground round it is mixed forest. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Geneva sits 10 miles from the bank. Lincoln sits 43 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Cedar View Recreation Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name black bullhead, green sunfish, orangespotted sunfish, fathead minnow and red shiner. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Cedar View Recreation Reservoir decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 77°F; by January the average is down near 23°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Break-up comes around mid March, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate averages put the opening at about mid March and the closing near mid December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Cedar View Recreation Reservoir to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Swan Creek Reservoir 6-C is 8.6 miles off.
