Sneakers and Guarders

As you can imagine we have a bunch of NEBRASKAland calendars hanging around the office, http://shopoutdoornebraska.ne.gov/AspDotNetStorefront/p-971-2012-nebraskaland-calendar.aspx .  Here is a scan of Eric Fowler’s bluegill picture which is the image for June 2012. Who says fish do not have personalities? I got to looking at all those calendar photos around …

Burchard Update

I want to give you a quick update on the Burchard Lake project.  Most probably already know, but in case you do not, Burchard Reservoir in southeast Nebraska, one of the best fisheries in the state, needed some repairs this year.  The outlet structure there was very old, leaked, and …

“What a Wonderful World”

I blog about Nebraska, fish and fishing most all of the time.  But, if you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that especially on Fridays I might throw something up just for the fun of it.  The video that follows has absolutely nothing to do with Nebraska, …

Here is a relatively new program many of us would like to see “take off”.  You can expect me to at least occasionally blog about this because I want to keep giving it some publicity. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) is committed to increasing opportunities for Nebraska youth …

Aquatic Habitat Projects Begin at Arnold and Victoria Springs Lakes May 11, 2012 LINCOLN, Neb. – Water levels in …

Kid’s System

I am always telling fishing folks to find someone new, find a kid, take ‘em fishing, and get ‘em hooked!  The time spent together in the outdoors is reward enough, but let’s face it, it is even more fun and memorable if fish are caught.  The best strategy for getting …

“Land Ho!”

Heading out the door for the Memorial Day weekend.  Just a “light” blog post before I leave, a little corny, fishing humor for ya. Always use the right line! “I’m liking it!” By the way, I have a whole series of pirate jokes I should share with you sometime! Sorry, …

Stinkin’ Poachers *!2#$*r@&;6^!!!!!!

I cannot tell you all the details, but I want to mention a recent poaching case that was made at Lake McConaughy.  I am not going to mention any of the names involved, but one of our conservation officers worked some long hours, many of them after dark, to catch …
