Fishing near Omaha, Nebraska

Set in Douglas County, Omaha is a Nebraska town. Not one of these needs an overnight stay. The near choices are: 3.4 miles away is Carter Lake to the north, 4.9 miles away is Big Lake, 5.5 miles away is Lake Manawa to the south-east, 8.6 miles away is Glenn Cunningham Lake plus 8.8 miles away is Candlewood Reservoir to the west. Glenn Cunningham Lake has a hard edge and little natural cover, so wind and light decide the day. A solid cap forms most winters. Once the shallows warm, the fish move up fast. The area runs on held water. Margins hold more than the middle ever will. Carter Lake is the near option, about 335 acres in size. Carter Lake has a mapped boat ramp, which makes it the practical choice for a boat. Expect the lakes here to open about mid March. Douglas County records cover bluegill, common carp and yellow bass. Take the Nebraska rules with you, since they apply throughout....
