The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission's fishing tackle loaner program has been expanded. The program is a
combined effort of the Outdoor Education, Parks and Fisheries divisions.
The Commission is hoping to introduce even more Nebraskans to the fun of fishing by making
fishing tackle available at 16 parks across the state. Zebco 33 spincast rod and reel combos, hooks,
bobbers, weights and other tackle are available for park guests to use during their stay, at no charge.
Would-be anglers of all ages may borrow the fishing tackle, but during periods of high demand,
children are given priority. Anglers are asked to return the tackle promptly when finished fishing so
others may use the equipment.
Anglers should not keep the tackle at their campsite for the duration of their visit. Some parks loan the tackle out of the
main office, while at others, campground hosts loan the equipment out. A few parks have bait you can use as well, but at
most you will need to purchase your own at the park or bring it with you. The 16 participating park areas in Nebraska are:
- Alexandria SRA (Jefferson County)
- Branched Oak SRA - Area 1 and 4 campgrounds (Lancaster County)
- Calamus Reservoir SRA (Garfield County)
- Chadron State Park (Dawes County)
- Dead Timber SRA (Dodge County)
- Fort Kearny SRA (Kearney County)
- Fort Robinson State Park (Sioux County)
- Fremont SRA (Dodge County)
