Plum Creek Reservoir 3-D near Wymore: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Plum Creek Reservoir 3-D is set in Pawnee County, Nebraska. The surface lies 1,335 feet up. About 19 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The closest town, Wymore, is 11 miles away. After that come Beatrice at 19 miles and Tecumseh at 21 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water. A short walk from the parking spot changes the water completely.

• Where to Fish on Plum Creek Reservoir 3-D

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Records held for Pawnee County cover flathead catfish, green sunfish, black bullhead, johnny darter and orangespotted sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 77°F and January near 24°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid March. Climate figures give an open season running mid March to late December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Plum Creek Reservoir 3-2 at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
