Wehrspann Lake is a popular freshwater fishing destination within Chalco Hills Recreation Area in southwest Omaha. The lake provides multiple ways to fish, including shore access and designated fishing areas, making it convenient for Omaha-area anglers who don’t want to travel far for a day on the water.

The lake’s warm-water fishery provides opportunities for bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, and other species. With a large shoreline and different types of habitat, anglers can adjust where they fish according to wind, season, and water conditions.

For crappie and bluegill, try small jigs or worms around structure and changes in depth. Bass anglers can work soft plastics and moving lures around vegetation and shoreline cover.
