Women can learn skills at Introduction to Fishing events
The BOW program will host four of these fun, beginner events at lakes across south-central Nebraska.
Anglers and biologists are joining forces to bring a new kind of fishing tournament to Nebraska.
The Midwest Walleye Challenge will give anglers in states across the Midwest a chance to compete for prizes while collecting important data for biologists.
The collection of angler catch data during the Nebraska challenge, which runs March 30-June 30, can help the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission learn more about Nebraska walleye fisheries. In the process, Nebraska anglers can see how their walleye fisheries compare to others in the Midwest.
Anglers can choose to be part of the free prize pool or, with a $25 entry, compete for cash prizes.
Prizes includes:
This event uses the mobile app MyCatch to record the length of each walleye caught. Anglers will have to photograph fish on a measuring device using the app. Once the fish is reviewed by the catch team and meets rule requirements, it will appear on a live leaderboard.
