I absolutely love to ice fish. A perfect calendar for me would be one where I had 3 months of spring turkey hunting, 3 months of fall fishing, and 6 months of ice fishing! I have heard one of the moons of Jupiter is entirely frozen over–I wonder what “big …
OK I have finally gotten caught up to the point where I can tell you about my adventures over the holidays. Sorry to say I was on the water far less than I had hoped because of the mild winter we have been having. Grrrrrrrrrr. But, I did spend some …
A few folks have already noticed, but I am betting that most have not seen that the new 2012 Fishing Forecast has been posted on our Nebraska Game & Parks Commission website, http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/fishing/pdfs/FishForecast.pdf .

As you are reading this, I am out of the office and have been for several days. You did not know that because I whipped up a bunch of blog posts ahead of time. Hopefully, this means that I have been on the water or in the field someplace in …

This is corny as all get out, but I don’t care. The Muppets, Looney Tunes, and the Stooges–it don’t get any better than that! Merry Christmas everyone! Have a blessed holiday, hope you get to share it with those you love!

I …
Let me tell you about a couple of new lakes Nebraska anglers will be fishing in the coming years, some may be fishing there even as I write this. Most of you have probably heard of the Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of Oshkosh. Surprisingly, Crescent Lake itself is …
