I hear lots of things from lots of people; listen to rumors and misinformation all the time. When I was asked about “sandhills shiners” the other day, I was thrown for a loop. I was told that sandhill shiners were a rare minnow species found only in the rivers and …
It has been some time since I posted any fishing reports. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know that I fish 12 months out of the year, every year, but I have to confess there are other distractions in the spring. I absolutely love spring turkey …
I had a busy weekend, a working weekend, and want to share with you some of the things I was privileged to do this weekend. The first thing I will tell you about was the meeting of the Sioux Land Fly Fishers, http://www.siouxlandflyfishing.com/index.htm . I know one of their members …

I guess that tomorrow, April 22 is “Earth Day”. If you have been reading my blog for a year, you might remember the skepticism and cynicism with which I greeted last year’s “Earth Day”, http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/blogs/2010/04/earth-day/ . I am not sure there has been much to change my attitude this year, …
From time to time I have been known to give seminars on catching various species of fish; usually walleyes, but other species too. In those seminars I try to take a pointy-headed fisheries biologist approach to fishing because that is one way I may be able to tell folks some …
