Tip-Up Hook Keeper

More Than Just Jewelry
We absolutely treasure them. We collect them. We investigate their origins. We tell stories of the hunt about them. We give them places of honor on our call lanyards. But, official waterfowl leg bands are more than just coveted collectibles, more than just “priceless jewelry” to hunters. The information the bands possess is vital to the management of these web …

Grandpa, Can We Go Fishing?
My kids, nieces, and nephews grew up watching a video we, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission, produced, Grandpa Can We Go Fishing? For those of you old enough to remember VHS, we may have worn out one or two of those tapes. So, I was thrilled to see we have posted the entire video to …

Piles of Panfish
You all know I love ice-fishing. While folks shuffle around all bundled-up, grumbling about how cold it is, I am grinning from ear-to-ear because it means we’ve got ice and I will be ice-fishing for the next few weeks! WOO HOO!

Happy New Year 2018!
If you have been reading my blog for any time, you know I am whacked. That is true in many ways, one of which is my celebration of “New Year’s”. You see, I pay no attention to what some calendar says or when astrological New Year’s occurs, meterological New Year’s, Dick Clark’s New Year’s, whatever. …

Trout Unlimited’s Chris Wood Talks Public Lands, Alchemy & Casting from a Shopping Cart
Our landscapes are changing quickly. By some reckoning, we asked for it. We pulled a lever for change in Washington and we got it.
The landscape of change became a whole lot larger too. The change people demanded to strengthen some parts of our great country is eroding others, like the environment and our access to it. By the time we stop arguing, resources we need and love may be eviscerated by needs and wants driven by greed and short-sighted investment. These are sociologist Robert Mertonhese’s “unintended consequences.”

One thing I will tell you blogging about outdoors “stuff” is it is seasonal and as the seasons repeat so do I.

Mid week last week I started seeing some sad news on the interwebs; Bob Propst passed away. Bob was a Nebraska native and member of the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, without a doubt one of the very best Nebraska anglers, ever!

Christmas Musings
I have a warped sense of humor, it is in the blood, comes from both sides of my family. Found this Christmas commercial on the inter-webs, kinda like it: The deer’s name is “Steve”! Wonder where I could get that sweater? Now let me switch from the warped to the sentimental. . . . I …

We are well into December now and I am starting to get impatient for fishable ice! Does not look like that is coming in the next few days, but am hearing some talk about colder weather maybe a couple weeks from now. I sure hope so! Regardless, my open-water fishing for this year is winding …
