State Record Update, October 2012

I have a few state record applications sitting on my desk; time for an update.  This update will be of fish that were stuck in the side with pointy objects. First is a rock bass that was taken by underwater spearfishing back on June 2.  The fish was a rock …

It’s Still On

We are well into late fall now, but don’t think we are anywhere near the end of our open-water fishing for 2012!  I have been having some excellent success recently and the fish are absolutely beautiful–I like to call ‘em “fall fatties”–OINK, OINK! I shared last week a report about …

“Have a lollipop”

Got a funny Strike King commercial to share with you this time, http://www.strikeking.com/ .  This one features Kevin VanDam, certainly one of the best bass anglers of all time, along with another great bass angler, and one originally from Nebraska, Denny Brauer. What is funny about that commercial is that …

A Note and some Spooks

You can read a summary of the fishing regulation changes that were passed by our board of commissioners last week here, http://www.facebook.com/notes/nebraska-game-and-parks-commission/fishing-regulations-approved-for-2013-2014/10151238828317298 .  There are some “tweaks” and changes there, in my opinion no huge changes, but look them over. Some of you will recall that we took public comment …

Where I’ve Been, Adventure Report 10/29/2012

I made a trip “out of the office” last week, need to post some pictures and give you a report. No, open-water fishing is NOT over for this year! I had the privilege of fishing Merritt Reservoir last week.  Merritt has always been one of my favorite waters, favorite places, …

Deer Crossing

We are moving into the rut, breeding period, for deer in Nebraska.  In my adventures around the state in the past couple of weeks I have been seeing a lot more deer, have even been seeing some nice bucks in this past week.  No, EHD did not kill all of …

Loop Trick

If you fish, sooner or later you are going to get a hook buried in some part of your anatomy.  I am sure all anglers have been hooked and most of us will eventually take a hook that penetrates past the barb.  A lot of folks end up in an …

“Brooks” and “Cutts”

If you have been reading or listening to any of my ramblings about fishing in Nebraska, you have likely heard me tout the diversity of fish species and fishing opportunities we have in our great state.  I like to say we have everything from brook trout to flathead catfish, a …

Redneck Windshield Wiper

It is Friday.  I was sitting here staring at my computer monitor wondering what lighthearted post I might put on my blog today, and then I stumbled across this photo on the internet: Look close at the picture.  When I did it brought back memories.  Yes, I am proud to …

BO-W 2012

It was over a week ago already, I need to give you a quick report on our big Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BO-W) workshop at Halsey this fall.  Mostly I have some pictures to share, maybe a story or two to tell. I have been helping with our BO-W program for …
