• Where to Fish on N F Little Nemaha Reservoir 4-14

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. County-wide records name common carp, green sunfish, black bullhead and channel catfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Take this water a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 22°F in January and 77°F in July. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid usually goes in mid March, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The open-water window runs from around mid March to about mid December in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Wilson Creek Reservoir 1-F is 1.9 miles off. Check the current arrangement for this water.
