Cullison Lake near Gordon: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Nebraska, Cullison Lake falls inside Cherry County. The land about it is mixed forest. At roughly 11 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Cherry County standards. The nearest town is Gordon, 17 miles away. For a city, Greeley is 224 miles off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Cullison Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Cherry County records list white sucker, common carp and green sunfish among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Cullison Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 72°F, the coldest about 22°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late March. Averages suggest open water from about late March through to roughly early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Cullison Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Mud Lake at 2.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Signs at Cullison Lake carry more weight than any list.
