Community Fishing Events, 2026
A full list of community fishing events are scheduled for this summer. Those events start in May, look over the calendar and make your plans!

Angler Surveys
Angler surveys will be happening on seven waterbodies around Nebraska this spring and summer. If you are contacted, please participate!
Crappie Time
Many anglers love to pursue crappies in the spring. Knowing some crappie biology and simple presentations can keep you on fish for weeks!
