A few weeks ago I told you about the Nebraska High School Bass Championship that was held at Summit Lake near Tekamah, http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/blogs/2012/08/2012-high-school-bass-fishing-championship/ . Zach Madsen and Matt Neiburg of Blair won that tournament and qualified to fish the regional High School Bass Championship held in Arkansas this year. I …
It’s Friday! On Fridays I usually post something “light” or at least “light-hearted”. I have shared a bunch of my favorite “stupid” fishing commercials on Fridays; many of them Rapala commercials, or Suffix 832 commercials. Well, Bass Pro Shops, http://www.basspro.com/ , has a bunch of good ones too! Duck Dynasty, is …
This blog post is going to be purely personal in nature. There will not be a wealth of fish or fishing information here, but if you choose to read you might learn a thing or two about me, and maybe find something to think about. Putting stuff that has been …

Yes, I suppose most of those …

The Missouri River is the eastern border of Nebraska, but sometimes I get the impression that folks think certain stretches of the river belong to our neighboring states. For example, I often read …
I got out of the office to help with some field work a couple of weeks ago. I have blogged about the flathead tagging project out at Branched Oak Reservoir, and I again was out to help with some of those collection efforts. If you want to read more detail …
WARNING: another corny fishing commercial! The feet wriggling in excitement at the end of the commercial are a nice touch. Now that is funny! Have a good weekend, laugh a little bit, get outside, and GO FISH!
You all know that it was a rough summer in Nebraska. There is no doubt the drought has had some negative impacts on our fish and wildlife. For example, we have all been concerned about the fires in northern and western parts of the state and how, even though fire …
I have mentioned our Youth Fishing Program before and have encouraged folks to check it out and get involved, http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/education/programs/youth_fishing/ .
