Memorial Day, 2024

I will pretty much tell you May and June are two of the best months for open-water fishing in Nebraska.  That is true every year, a variety of waters, for a variety of fish.

For that reason, Memorial Day weekend is one when a lot of fish are caught.  Oh sure, some wet, stormy weather can put a damper on that, but you really should be fishing.  NOW!  Yes, the weekend will be busy, yes, there will be other folks out there doing the same things.  Don’t mean nothing.

I have used this “mash up” as an example of some of the fish my family and I have caught on Memorial Day weekend over the years:

Wonder what it will be this year?

In the middle of your feasting, family time, and recreating, make sure to remember what it is all about.  After all, it is called “Memorial Day”.
