One of the most enjoyable things I get to do in my job is meet a lot of outstanding anglers and outstanding people. One that I originally crossed paths many years ago is Teeg Stouffer, the founder of an organization called Recycled Fish, http://www.recycledfish.org/index.htm . Teeg is one of those …
The “theme” of our current “Go Fishing” promotion, http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/gofishing/ , is “It’s never JUST fishing”. Maybe next week I will blog more about how we came up with that theme and what it means to us. That theme reminded me of this song by Trace Adkins: I like a variety …
By this time I imagine most of you probably have seen our new “Go Fishing” commercial. Just in case you have not . . . . This is a promotion we are doing this “spring” in order to try to recruit more folks, especially families, to go fishing. To go …
May 18-24 is National Safe Boating Week, http://www.safeboatingcampaign.com/index.html . This is a good reminder for all of us. I have seen some statistics on boating accidents in Nebraska last year.

This may be my last report from the spring turkey “woods” for 2013. It has been one of the best seasons ever for me; I have assisted/guided in the taking of several birds and then finally punched a tag for myself. Once again this year, I traveled to the Ponderosa …
This news is over a month old now, and I suspect many hard-core anglers may not even realize that we recently lost a legend, Doug Hannon. Here is the release that ran on the Bassmaster website, http://www.bassmaster.com/news/doug-hannon-dead-66 . Doug Hannon dead at 66 “The Bass Professor” passed away at his …
Sunday is Mother’s Day. I am sitting here trying to think of something related to Mother’s Day that I could blog about without repeating a blog post I have already done on past Mother’s Days. My wife is helping out in the floral department where she works this week because …
Let me tell you about something very rewarding I got to help with a couple weeks ago. I was asked to assist with a turkey hunting camp at Maranatha Bible Camp, http://www.maranathacamp.org/ . This was a men’s ministry camp organized by the Fellowship of Christian Sportsmen, Plus, http://fcsplus.org/ (I believe …
