Sutherland Reservoir is a popular 3,000-acre man-made lake located in southwestern Nebraska, just off Interstate-80 near the town of Sutherland. The reservoir serves as cooling water for Nebraska Public Power District's (NPPD) Gerald Gentleman Station, resulting in warmer water temperatures earlier in spring and extending later into fall. This creates unique fishing opportunities throughout the year. This large impoundment offers excellent fishing for multiple species, with abundant facilities for anglers including boat ramps, camping areas, and shore fishing access. The reservoir's diverse underwater structure and habitat support a healthy fishery that attracts anglers from across the region.
