Thorston Reservoir B-2 near Wahoo: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Thorston Reservoir B-2 is one of the Saunders County listings for Nebraska. The ground round it is rolling bush. Surface area runs to about 4 acres — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Saunders County list. Wahoo lies 3.5 miles from the water. After that come Yutan at 14 miles and Ashland at 17 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Thorston Reservoir B-2

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Records held for Saunders County cover common carp, bluegill, green sunfish, channel catfish and black bullhead. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. This water fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 76°F and January near 22°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Once it clears, about mid March, the fishing comes on quickly. Break-up near mid March, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Henry Rood Reservoir B-3, 1.7 miles away. Check the position at this water before loading the car.
