• Where to Fish on Mission Creek Reservoir 6-A

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Pawnee County records list flathead catfish, green sunfish, black bullhead, johnny darter and orangespotted sunfish among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On this water the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 24°F to 78°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early March. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early March until roughly late December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
