Charged! Close Call With Wild Wildlife
As much as we love wildlife, true love is ultimately shown with respect for their wildness, always keeping a safe distance, being prepared and never taking them for granted.

Pike Tagging
When spring time rolls around, pointy-headed fish biologists get really busy. I even get out of the office to help with all the field work that needs to be done this time of year. Most of you know that northern pike spawn right around the time ice goes out. They will even spawn under the …

Take ‘Em Fishing!
Who took you? Who got you started fishing? Dad? Mom? Granddad? Grandmother? Uncle? Friend? I am betting it was one of those folks, and I am betting it started with just one trip, maybe one fish, and you were fascinated and hooked for life (pun intended)! So, who are you going to take? Oh, I …

Spinnin’ and Grinnin’
Shocks me how some people abuse their fishing equipment: Posted by K-School-HQ on Saturday, March 9, 2019 Obviously, someone needs to spend more time on the water! At least he was not using his spinning reel upside down! Have a great weekend! GO FISH!

Mentoring Is Not Just For Kids
It was 2018 and this was my first year truly pursuing a spring turkey. I had bought a used blind in 2017, was using someone else’s gun, bought an inexpensive call from our local Wal-Mart, and was using two decoys that somebody gave to me. The only education I had on turkey hunting was what …

Head Up
I was out and about a little bit at the end of last week. No, I do not have any fish to show; did note some turkeys in a few places. I drove by several bodies of water and here in southeast Nebraska the water clarity in almost all of our reservoirs is still relatively …

Updates, April 1, 2019
Seriously, no “April Fool’s” in this blog post, although I have seen some good ones today. No, I have some news updates and I ain’t fooling. As is often the case, some of you may already be aware of these updates, but then I will get questions from folks and realize that not everyone “got …

Spring Trout Stocking Update, March 28, 2019
It seems that every other blog post I have done for the past month has been about spring trout stockings. Might as well continue the trend: More rainbow trout stockings scheduled for March 30 LINCOLN, Neb. – Seven more lakes and ponds are scheduled to be stocked with rainbow trout March 30, according to the …

Late Ice, Early Open
When doing seminars and workshops about Nebraska fishing I often note that we have no closed season for fishing in the state, and that I will spend at least some time fishing every month of the year. An ideal autumn is one where I go from late fall, open-water fishing to first ice, ice-fishing in …

Fort Robinson Fishing Upgrades
Anglers visiting Fort Robinson State Park in coming months may be disappointed to find some of their favorite ponds without water, but are sure to enjoy the same places in coming years. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission drained Grabel Ponds and Cherry Creek Pond to make way for the first phase of an Aquatic …

Flood Impacts
Still cannot tell you a lot of specifics about the impacts of the unprecedented flooding that has occurred recently across Nebraska. Certainly, at this point we know the loss to families and their homes, possessions, businesses and livestock have been huge, heart-breaking. Losses to fish and wildlife and outdoor recreation are going to be significant …

Update on Spring Trout Stocking
It is going to take a while to sort out what impacts all of this flooding is going to have on our recreation, wildlife, and parks areas. Likewise, it is going to take some time for us to evaluate just what the impacts are going to be to many private and public fisheries. Right now, …

Fly Fishing Film Tour
I know it has been a rough week for much of Nebraska, and I am sure there are some hard days ahead of us yet. I also know folks are going to need a break, a little get-away, and I know of something that you might enjoy, this is coming up Thursday this week, March …

Historic
I was all prepared to do my usual trivial, lighthearted, Friday blog post, but the events in our great state over the past 48 hours have made that seem meaningless. No, I am not talking about the Husker’s winning two games at the Big 10 men’s basketball tournament. I am referring to the weather that …

Fish Stories
A few weeks ago I did something different, something new, something that I think is really cool. . . . I was contacted by a guy from SoDakota to do some audio recordings, “pod cast” kind of things. I talk to writers, reporters all the time, do radio shows, pod casts, etc., so I figured …

Dry Spotted Tail Creek
My friends over at Nebraska Environmental Trust (NET) put out a newsletter every month. The February issue had a story about a project that I have known was on the horizon, but I did not want to mention anything about it until there was something to mention. Let me share what was in the NET …
