18 Renovations

During 1982 the Fisheries Division completed renovation of nine state-owned bodies of water and several farm ponds across the state.

Habitat Improvement

Habitat improvement work was done at 15 lakes across the state. This included working with inter ested groups to place discarded Christmas trees, cedar trees, discarded vehicle tires and aeration systems in various lakes.

Fish Tagging

Fish tagging programs were continued across the state to help determine population estimates, harvest estimates and growth rates. This year the program involved tagging trout, channel catfish, walleye and northern pike.

Fish Stockings

A total of 4,616,834 fish were stocked in state waters during 1982.

District 1: 487,246 + 9 gallons of crayfish; District 11: 1,382,598; District 111: 1,549,600 + 18,000 pounds carp; District IV : 882,169 + 6,400 glass shrimp; District V: 1,536,939.

Aquatic Vegetation Control

Efforts were made to control aquatic vegetation in several waters across the state during 1982. Among these waters were: Chadron City Park; Cherry Creek Pond; Grabel Pond #1; lcehouse Diversion Pond; Cherry Creek Diversi on Pond; Kimball Reservoir Swimming Beach; Silver Creek City Park Lake; Pibel Lake; Rock Creek Lake.

Two Rivers

Two Rivers Trout Lake near Venice was once again in operation throughout 1982. The put-and take fee fishing facility was open a total of 181 days and provided a total of 133,043 hours of fishing for visitors. There were 185,050 rainbow trout stocked during the year and 154,782 were recorded harvested by fishermen. There were a total of 45,548 fishing tags sold at Two Rivers during 1982.

FISH PRODUCTION SECTION

T he fi sh production section is pri marily responsi ble for producing and/or procuring fish to stock Nebraska's waters under current management. The program goal is to provide the species, numbers, and sizes of fish req uested for stocking by the management and research sections. During 1982, five production facilities were operated with 19 permanent employees assisted by seasonal temporary people. All installa tions function as publ ic use facilities and receive considerable vi si tation. School groups are very noticeable during t he spring.

Cold water productio n space is largely devoted to the Two Rivers catchable trout program. A total of 185,300 (9 2,023 lbs. ) rainbow trout were used in this si ngle program. Remaining trout production con sisted of maintaini ng a Mcconaughy rainbow variety broodstock, wild trout egg production, and Mccon aughy variety supplemental stocks, Domestic trout production utilized Boulder, Wigwam, and DeSmet varieties of rai nbow procured as eggs from the state of Wyoming.

Warm water production was again excellent for most species in 1982. The development of techniques for intensive cul t u re of largemouth bass, tiger musky, and threadfin shad were continued through 1982. Continued interest in these programs will surely dictate additional efforts in 1983.

No major capital development projects were started in 1982. However, initial discussions and nego tiations were begun relative to the cooperative transfer of Crawford National Fish Hatchery operations to the state of Nebraska.

Boating Safety Program There were 54,264 boats registered in Nebraska in 1982, an increase of five percent over 1981 , How ever, the number and severity of accidents decreased considerably during 1982, as 15 accidents involving 25 boats were reported. There were two fatalities and 16 personal injuries during the year, down from 8 and 19 respectively in 1981 . The 15 accidents resulted in a property damage loss of approximately $30,000, The most common type of accident was "collision with another vessel", resulting from careless ness and inattention.

The boating safety program was directed primarily toward youth groups and schools. An effort was made to work with teachers, encouraging them to use our boating program in their classes. The agency provided films, student and instructor manuals and related materials for all classes, Numerous canoe safety classes and boat and water safety talks were given to a wide variety of groups, including 4-H, Scouts, Civic groups, clubs and businesses.

Wildlife Education The wildlife education effort was directed toward school classes and teachers. Numerous inclass programs were presented to students, Outdoor Education staff also worked with students in "outdoor classrooms" on a variety of field trips related to both school and scouting activities.

Wildlife education programs were given to groups of teachers during State Teachers Convention and other in-se rvice meetings.

Activities The ou.tdoor Nebraska radio program, syndicated over 41 stations across the state, is hosted and produced by the division, Weekly programs are provided to participating stations.

Div ision staff assisted in the Outdoor Nebraska television program through taped workshops, and provided assistance to some of the Know Nebras ka Tours.

'A wlcle,,variety of educational talks we re p rese nted to 108 d iverse groups during the year, ranging from scout groups to civ ic organizations.

Park Visition Accurate counts of park visitors are difficult achievements, It is especially difficult in Nebraska's park system since almost 2/3 of the public-use areas are unmanned, with many areas undeveloped and only a few having a single park entrance,

An estimated 7,869,787 people visited the state park areas during 1982, There are 42 reporting stations in the system and they contribute most of the total visitor count. The remaining 50 areas are credited with conservative lump sum visitor estimates,

Turkey

Turkey populations remain high in the Verdigre and Niobrara units. To increase permit sales in these units the spring and fall seasons were split making two spring and two fall seasons in each unit. This increased the number of permits available without increased hunting pressure at any one time. Spring harvest was 1701 bi,rds wh ile the fall harvest was 2282.

Turkey archery permit sales were 800 for the spring season and 488 for the fall. Harvest was 62 birds in the spring and 103 birds in the fall.
