Plum Creek Reservoir 2-E Fishing near Wymore, Nebraska

• Overview

  Look for Plum Creek Reservoir 2-E in the Gage County part of Nebraska. The setting is pine and birch. It covers about 7 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It lies lower than most water we list in Nebraska. Wymore is the closest place, 8 miles off. After that come Marysville at 16 miles and Beatrice at 18 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Plum Creek Reservoir 2-E

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Reported across Gage County: common carp, flathead catfish, orangespotted sunfish and green sunfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On this water the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 78°F, the coldest about 24°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. After early March the shallows warm and the fish move up. Climate figures give an open season running early March to late December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Plum Creek Reservoir 2-F, 2.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
