    Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek

    Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek Fish Survey Results - Spring 2014 Brad Eifert, Fisheries Biologist Spanning a stretch of 150 miles along Interstate 80 from Grand Island to Hershey more than 60 small lakes are available for public fishing. Fisheries staff from the Kearney office has the management responsibility for the Interstate lakes located from Grand Island to Elm Creek. These man-made lakes, most of which were created for fill material when the Interstate system was developed in the 1960’s, range in size from 1 to 42 acres. The ground water fed lakes have excellent shoreline access for anglers and usually contain clear water and abundant aquatic vegetation, providing excellent habitat conditions for largemouth bass and bluegill. In addition, most of the lakes contain channel catfish, while others have crappie, rock bass, walleye, and northern pike. The fish populations are surveyed on a five year rotation and the following graphs and text display these results. Largemouth Bass Largemouth bass are present in all of the Interstate lakes in the central portion of Nebraska, with the exception of War Axe, which has been stocked with smallmouth bass. Lakes with high densities of smaller bass, include Windmill, Ft. Kearny, West and Middle Mormon Island, Kea Lake, Coot Shallows, and Sandy Channel #2. Lakes that traditionally produce larger bass include Cheyenne, Windmill #1, Bassway Strip, Blue Hole West, and Sandy Channel #8. Most of the I-80 lakes have a 15-inch minimum length limit on black bass. Exceptions include; Mormon Island SRA, Cheyenne, West Wood River, War Axe, and Archway Lakes, all of which have a 21-inch minimum length limit.

They migrated southward through the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota to the Mississippi River. Those who became known as the Ioway remained at the junction of the Iowa River, while the rest of the band traveled on, further West and South to the Missouri River. At the fork of the Grand River, a quarrel ensued between the families of two chiefs, and the band of people divided into the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The two communities remained autonomous until the Missouria suffered near annihilation from sickness and intertribal warfare over hunting boundaries aggravated by the fur trade. The remnant group merged with the Otoes in 1798 under their chiefs. However, by the 1830’s they had been absorbed by the larger community. In the 1880’s, the leaders went South and selected lands between the Ponca and Pawnee in Oklahoma Territory. Their numbers had been reduced to 334 members. The oral tradition of the several communities had ceased, on the whole, by the early 1940’s, although several contemporary versions of stories and accompanying songs were recorded by this writer from the last fluent speakers in 1970 - 1987. The final two fluent speaker of Ioway - Otoe-Missouria language died at Red Rock, Oklahoma in the Winter of 1996.
  • Nebraska Chapter Representative

    Nebraska Chapter Representative

    North Central Division- American Fisheries Society Rivers and Streams Technical Committee Brett Roberg, Nebraska Chapter Representative Activities related to Rivers and Streams in Nebraska for 2020 NEBRASKA GAME AND PARKS COMMISSION COOLWATER STREAMS In 2015/16, the Commission drafted a Coolwater Streams Management Plan. The purpose of the Cool Water Stream Management Plan is to identify goals for stewardship of cool water stream resources in Nebraska, and to develop specific, attainable and measurable action items for Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) staff to implement to achieve the vision. A copy of the plan can be found here. Projects completed in 2020 include: DRY SPOTTED TAIL CREEK Dry Spotted Tail creek was historically manipulated to improve agricultural drainage and reduce flood potential, and the hydrology of the creek was affected by regional irrigation practices. These anthropogenic manipulations over the past + 70 years caused continued down cutting (+9ft) across the Dry Spotted Tail complex, reduced desirable bedform diversity, and dewatered the surrounding wetlands. The project team recommended a Priority 1 restoration approach that would restore the natural hydrology of Dry Spotted Tail Creek and the North Platte River, return groundwater levels to pre-incised conditions, while installing additional stream sinuosity with in-stream habitat features to sustain healthy aquatic, riparian, and wetland communities (Figure 1). Figure 1. Aerial images of the Dry Spotted Tail Creek complex illustrating pre-project (left image) and the post-project (right image). Photo credit: Justin Haag, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. In total, the project team enhanced 1.50 mi of stream, increased stream sinuosity from 1.0 to 1.43, decreased the bank height ratio from 2.5 to 1.0, reduced Dominant BEHI/NBS from M/L to L/L, increased percent riffle (%) from 35 to 45, increased the pool depth ratio from 1.7 to 3, and increased the riparian width (%) from 20 to 100.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.
