“Help Desk”

There was one day this week where it seemed like all I did was answer the phone.  It reminded me of this. . . Sorry, should have warned you that it was another one of the corny fishing commercials that I like.  Now, if I can be just half as …

Trip Report, 4th of July 2012

I have finally caught up with all my “chores” after being “out” most of last week.  Time to give you a report on my latest adventures in our great state. My family and I headed west to spend the Independence Day holiday with family.  We spent several days in Valentine, …

Fishing the Metro

If you subscribe to NEBRASKAland magazine, http://www.outdoornebraska.ne.gov/nebland/subscriptions/nebland_subscribe.asp , you have already seen the new liftout that was  included in the July 2012 issue, Fishing the Metro. I want to mention this booklet here because I believe it was very well done by Jeff Kurrus, and because I believe it will be …

Happy 4th of July!

I will tell you that Independence Day, or the 4th of July, has always been my favorite holiday. Maybe that tells you that I have a pyromania streak in me? Anyway, we have big plans for spending the holiday with family and I imagine most of you do too.  Be …

Old Friend

I want to throw up a quick post to share some of my pictures from our big Carp-O-Rama event at Pawnee Reservoir this past Saturday.  We started off the event with a thunderstorm, but it passed through relatively quick and the rest of the morning was beautiful.  Estimates are that …

State Record Update, June 2012

Time for the first update on state records for 2012.  It took awhile for the first state record applications for this year, but since that one showed up there have been several more come across my desk.  So, let’s take ‘em as they have come. . . . First off …

Trout Bums

I have a nephew that is a trout bum.  I say that with complete respect, pride and a little bit of jealousy.  He is guiding fishermen on the Nushagak River in Alaska as I write this.  Before he headed north for the summer he posted this poster on his FaceBook …

Carp-O-Rama

I believe it has been about 7 years ago that we started this little “Carp-O-Rama” event out at Pawnee Reservoir northwest of Lincoln.  We wanted an event to draw some attention to common carp, a fish worthy of pursuit, a fish that is definitely a challenge to catch and a …
