Mohr Reservoir Fishing Guide, Boyd County, Nebraska

• Overview

  Mohr Reservoir belongs to Boyd County, Nebraska. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. It covers about 2 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Boyd County list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Atkinson, 29 miles down the road. For a city, Sioux Falls is 117 miles off. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Mohr Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Boyd County cover green sunfish, bluegill, goldeye and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Mohr Reservoir rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 75°F and January about 20°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late March. Open water usually runs from late March until about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. At Mohr Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Reiman Reservoir is 2.6 miles distant. Where Mohr Reservoir is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
