Every Boat Ramp on Calamus Reservoir

About Calamus Reservoir

Calamus Reservoir sits in the scenic Sandhills region of north-central Nebraska, offering over 5,000 acres of clear water fishing in a peaceful, uncrowded setting. The reservoir is one of Nebraska's top destinations for northern pike, with fish regularly exceeding 30 inches. Walleye provide consistent action along the main channel breaks, while largemouth bass hold in the weed beds and submerged vegetation of the shallower bays.

The Calamus State Recreation Area surrounds the lake and provides paved boat ramps, camping facilities, and scenic overlooks of the rolling Sandhills landscape. Yellow perch fishing is excellent during late fall and winter, drawing ice anglers from across the state. The clear water conditions make Calamus a favorite among anglers who prefer sight-fishing and finesse techniques for bass and panfish.
