The Walleye Federation (TWF)

The Nebraska Wildlife Federation (http://nebraskawildlife.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education, fish and wildlife conservation, and common sense public policy in Nebraska. This organization brings together people who hike, bike, canoe, hunt, fish, camp, watch and photograph wildlife, and enjoy the outdoors. At their annual Conservation Awards Dinner held on Oct. 13 at Mahoney State Park, NWA was presented a 2011 Wildlife Education Award for the GoFishKids! program. Receiving the award on behalf of NWA were Ray Clayton, Betty Clayton and Rich McShane. It was presented by NWF board member Brian Bashore. NWA was recognized for sponsoring these clinics for more than 20 years, in which thousands of youth across Nebraska have learned how to fish. This award and the others like it are a credit to the many who have kept this program going and growing for so long. To all who have – a great big thank you is in order.

Harlan Anglers Walleye Club End of Year Tournament

Harlan County Lake

Alma Nebraska  

The Harlan Anglers Walleye club held a one day Walleye tournament on Sunday September 25, 2011 on the Harlan County Lake. The tournament was two people teams per boat for those fishing the end of year tournament. Fishing was extremely tough as the fish hadn’t moved to the drop offs yet and there was a huge hatch of shad during the summer. Fish were gorging themselves on the shad and extremely hard to catch.

There were fourteen teams in the tournament this year

The tournament brought in teams from Nebraska & Kansas.

Prizes were awarded by the total weight and also big fish of the tournament. Seven teams weighed walleye for the one day tournament. Big fish of the tournament was caught by the team of Al Hohfeld & Greg Mangels weighing 3.22lbs. Read more »
