Mission Creek Reservoir 6-B Fishing near Wymore, Nebraska

• Overview

  Mission Creek Reservoir 6-B falls in Pawnee County, part of Nebraska. This is lake country bush ground. Surface area runs to about 23 acres — small enough to read in one session. Supplies mean a trip to Wymore, 13 miles off. Lincoln sits 55 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Mission Creek Reservoir 6-B

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Pawnee County records list flathead catfish, green sunfish and black bullhead among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 78°F, while January sits near 24°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early March. The lid tends to go about early March and return around late December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Mission Creek Reservoir 6-3, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish this water.
