Pierce Creek Reservoir 3-B Fishing Guide, Gage County, Nebraska

• Overview

  You will find Pierce Creek Reservoir 3-B in Gage County, Nebraska. This is rolling bush ground. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Supplies mean a trip to Beatrice, 9.6 miles off. For a city, Lincoln is 29 miles off. No border sits close enough to matter. Quiet on weekdays, busier when the weather turns fine.

• Where to Fish on Pierce Creek Reservoir 3-B

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Gage County records list common carp, flathead catfish, orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish and stonecat among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 23°F in January and 77°F in July. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid March. The water is typically free of ice between mid March and mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Pierce Creek Reservoir 4-2, 0.6 miles out. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
