Fishing is Fun! in Nebraska 2019 Tournament Results

The Nebraska Walleye Association Kids Fishing Clinics Charity, Inc. sponsored four tournaments for the 2019 season. The first was held at Lewis & Clark Reservoir near Crofton, NE. The second was held on Sherman Reservoir near Loup City, NE. The third and fourth were held at Calamus Reservoir near Burwell, NE. All of these tournaments were hampered by extreme weather conditions including cold, sleet, dangerous winds, thunderstorms, and driving rain.

Totally different types of fisheries and weather patterns presented challenges for the tournament teams and on all days the winning teams used different presentations to overcome that. nics
The overall top three team finishers after this four tournament format are: Nate & Landon Stender, Steve Freese & Rich McShane, and Rick & Dan Waldren.
Congratulations to these teams and they will be offered the opportunity to fish in the 2020 NTC at Lake Winnebago.

This organization is a 501 (c) (3) public charity that promotes fishing education and conservation in Nebraska to over 2000 youth annually. Fishing is Fun! is the catch phrase used to conduct 15-20 kids fishing clinics across the state; including special needs cliinics. Each participant receives hands on fishing instruction from state certified volunteers and is given a free rod/reel/tackle box combination to take home for fishing. The only entry required to fish in these tournaments is to volunteer at the kids fishing clinic held at the tournament site. At each location the weather interrupted the clinics. However a total of 80 kids still showed up and learned how to fish.

A big thanks to all who make: Fishing is Fun! in Nebraska.
