Fishing Funk Reservoir in Holt County, Nebraska

• Overview

  Funk Reservoir is listed under Holt County, Nebraska. The bank is 1,906 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 12 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Neligh at 15 miles is the nearest place to stop. Lincoln sits 124 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Funk Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Holt County records list common carp, green sunfish and white sucker among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Funk Reservoir that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 74°F on average, January about 20°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in late March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages suggest open water from about late March through to roughly early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Funk Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Sehi Reservoir, 0.7 miles away. Treat access at Funk Reservoir as something to verify.
