nebraskalargemouthhunter Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I am looking for a new lake out side my town that has camping, not wanting to travel that far since I have to bring both dogs with me but does anyone know of a amazing lake these days? Quote
NebraskaBasser Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Problem is... there are so FEW waters (of any kind) around Omaha/Lincoln, they/we get soooo much pressure, it's hard to classify any of them as being "GREAT BASS LAKES"! Are you fishing from a boat, the shore, float-tube, what? If you're looking for a LAKE, Wildwood isn't too bad. Summit Lake (west of Tekamah) is in the Bassmaster's Top 100 best (bass) lakes in the country... but I've never fished it. Elwood reservoir (south of Lexington) is a great multi-species lake. Burchard Lake is (was) supposed to be VERY good for bass. But I think I read where there was problems with the dam leaking and they had to drain/lower the water for repair. I fish primarily from a bellyboat/float-tube... so can't tell you much about the "GOOD" bass LAKES. If you don't already, you might want to visit the Nebraska Fish & Game fishing forum. Lotsa good info there too... Later, Bob Quote
MaWarren43 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Fremont Lake #20 has some quality fish in there, plus only about a half hour drive from the metro area. Just as NebraskaBasser said, Summit is very good. I've fished it several times and caught countless 3-5 pounders out of there. Stage Coach (south of Lincoln) is another very good lake, I've heard of several fish over 8 pounds being pulled out of there. Hope this helps. Quote
