Fishing Nebraska (and some classic TV)

On of the my favorite memories of my childhood was waking up and watching the Andy Griffith Show. Time after time I would wake up to that iconic whistling them song and black and white sene of Andy and his kid going fishing. My dad always said "If their is a lesson to be learned in life, you will learn it form Andy Griffith." Well the first lesson of every episode is a dad and his boy going fishing. Fishing is something that is rooted deep in our culture and continues to be popular today. Lucky for us Nebraska has some great fishing.

The first lake that comes to mind in Nebraska for fishing is lake McConaughy. Big Mac (as its called, I think) is 22 miles long and 4 miles wide. It is located on the Platte river and has a Hydroelectric power plant in Kingsley dam. As breathtaking as the lake is itself the fishing might be better. Each year massive walleyes are caught in the lake that make me jealous.

Lake McConaguhy Is on of may fishing destinations in Nebraska. Fishing is a rewarding hobby that is cheap and easy to get started in. Nebraska has many fishing holes to have an Andy Griffith moment of your own!
