A couple of news releases I have seen that I want to publicize some more. First, in part. . .
Commissioners to consider sport fishing orders at Oct. 15 meeting
LINCOLN, Neb. – The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will consider amendments to sport fishing orders when it meets Oct. 15 in Ogallala.
The meeting will start at 8:30 a.m. Mountain time at the Keith County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall, 1000 W. 3rd St.
Proposed sport fishing amendments will include orders for two reservoirs under construction in Sarpy County – Big Elk Lake and WP-6. Each will be stocked only with smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Proposed daily bag limits at each are two smallmouth and five perch, with a maximum length limit of 12 inches on smallmouth.
Another sport fishing change would add an exception for Pelican Lake on the Valentine National Wildlife Refuge for muskie and tiger muskie that the daily bag limit of three not include more than one fish 34 inches or greater in length. A possession limit of three would be established for those species at Pelican Lake.
In another sport fishing recommendation, fishing would be permitted at Crane Lake on Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge during daylight hours from Nov. 1 through Feb. 15.
Secondly, got an e-mail on this today:
Ponca State Park Boat Ramp Temporarily Closed
Effective Wednesday, October 14th, Ponca State Park’s boat ramp will be closed until further notice. Construction is slated to begin on replacement of this ramp which was severely damaged during the 2019 high Missouri River flows. Visitors looking for local river access can still use the boat ramp located at Ponca State Park’s North Addition which is approximately 5 miles north of the main park.
