Main responsibility of the Fisheries Division is to provide for perpetuation, development, and utilization of the aquatic renewable resources of Nebraska . These renewable resources include some hundred species of fish, plus frogs, turtles, crayfish, and freshwater mussels. Aquatic habitat which supports these species includes 560 permanent streams of 11,000 miles, plus 281 artificial public lakes and reservoirs totaling 123 ,000 acres, about 17,000 private ponds of 30,000 acres, and 222 natural lakes totaling 38,000 acres. The objectives of the division are to assure perpetuation and to control utilization of these renewable resources and their habitats for the benefit of man . These activities are carried out by the following main sections: Administration, Fish Production , Fish Management, and Special Projects . Administration The administrative section plans, organizes, directs, and controls activities of the division . Other admin i strative activities include maintenance of basic business records, personnel records, statewide stocking reco rds, and general files, All special fishery permits are also issued. During 1969, these permits issued include, 154 Missouri River seining vendor, 197 bait vendor, 4 private minnow hatchery, 16 game fish hatchery, 14 commercial put-and - take, 4 nonres i dent fish dealer, and 14 scientific collection permit. Fish Production Fish for stocking Nebraska waters are produced at 5 state production stations, including Gretna, just off Interstate 80 ; Grove Trout Rearing Station , 2 miles northeast of Royal ; North Platte Fish Producti on Station, 4 miles southeast of North Platte :. Rock Creek Fish Production Station, 5 miles north of Parks , and the Valentine Station, 2 miles northeast of Valentine. Fish for stocking are also obtained through activities of the Salvage and Distribution Station located at North Platte. In addition to fish produced in Nebraska facilities and from salvage and seining operations, fish are obtained from the federal service and other states through fish trades.
Gretna Hatchery The transportation, holding, and redistribution of catchable-size rainbow from Grove and Rock Creek to the Two Rivers Trout Lake is a major activity of this station. These fish are moved to Gretna in large numbers and redistributed to the trout lake as needed. In addition to trout operations, the Gretna unit rears warmwater fish and redistributes fish obtained through trades from state , federal , and out-of-state hatcheries. Coho salmon eggs were hatched at the unit during 1969 . Fish production for the year totaled 210,967 warm and coldwater fish , including coho salmon, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. An additional 951,932 fish obtained from outside sources were stocked out or redistributed including rainbow trout, rock bass, largemouth bass, channel catfish, chain pickerel, and walleye. Major renovation of rearing ponds , started in the fall of 1968, was completed during the year. However, only 3 ponds were completed in time to be used in the production program for 1969 .

Manipulation Manipulation Population Population Approximately 37 mil es of streams were sampled with electro-fishing gear. A total of 363 fish were tagged and 2,345 fish were marked by finclipping and returned to the streams to secu re informati on on angler harvest, fish migrations, standing crops , and po ssi ble shocker mortality and effects of pollution . Results indicate that possibly 25 to 50 percent of ca rp and ca rpsucker populations in streams are permanent residents of a certain area, while other parts of the populations may move long or short distances seasonally. Channel catfi sh move upstream into small streams in the spring with a mass exodus downst ream duri ng October . Standing crop estimates for carp and carpsucker ranged from 200 to l ,000 pounds pe r acre . Experimental stocking of northern pike fingerling in small streams and drainage di t ches located in Pierce, Madison, Platte, Colfax, Dodqe, Antelope , Holt, Mer ri ck , and Burt Counties , was evaluated, Assistance and gu i dance was g·f ven fishery management personnel in designing fish population sampl i ng progr ams and population studies . Some aid was rendered on local polluti on problems that required i mmed i ate attention . Pollution sampling was co-ordinated wi th the State Health Depa r tment . Ni ne programs were presented to interested parties. Fi ve adm i ni strati ve repo rt s and papers were written during the year. Commerci al Fi she ry Invest i qatl on s The comme rcial fis heries proj ect is con cerned with establishing the seasonal migration and ava i labi lity of comme rcial fis hes fr om Mcconaughy Rese rvoir into the North Platte Ri ver up stream . Obje ct i ve s are to establ ish the season periods of movement of each spe cies of fi sh, the magnitude of th is movement, and the potential for annual harvest. Info rmation on fish mi grati on i s collected at an electric barrier and fish trap located on the river about th ree miles east of Lewellen . During 1969, pe r iods of seasonal movement we re established for several species, and l i fe history information wa s col lected on a number of species . During the year, 10,856 fish were collected i n the trap incl uding rainbow trout, brown trout, walleye, wh i te bass , carp, ri ve r ca rpsucke r, qu i llback, gi zz ard shad, northern pike, largemouth bas s , channel catfi sh, wh i te sucke r, longnose sucke r , coho salmon, and striped bass. In addition to sampl i ng of fi sh at the ri ver trap, sampling of fish in Mcconaughy was started in 1969 . Th e objecti ve i s to gain an understanding of the relationship between mi grating and reser vo i r populations. Duri ng the late summer, 10,327 fish ·were collected in the reservoi r and 7,676 were ma r ked for the pu rpose of being able to identify them as ri ver mi grants i n 1970 . Limnology This project is respon si bl e for developing basic information on Nebraska f i shing wate rs concerning l i mno l og ica1 features , i ncluding water quality , plankton and benth·lc organ i sms, and basi c pr oducti vity. Suppo rt i s also given fish management and fish producti on prog r ams on spec i al ized studi es . During 1969 , activities were curtailed by a reduction in the tempo rary staff and resi gnation of the assistant limnologist. Sampling i n regard to spec i al studi es was carried out on Goose Lake in Garden County, Lake Mcconaughy ~ several t urb i d farm pond s, and striped bass production ponds at the North Platte Hatchery. Much effort wa s con centrat ed on compilation and evaluation of past field data collections . By the end of 1969 , fou r pape rs, dealing with past ·1,mnology studies, were in press and sev en we re in t he fo rmati ve stages of preparation . Mi gratory Rainbow Trout Invest i gations Studies we re conti nued on the rainbow t rout population that matures in Mcconaughy Reservo i r and mig rates up the No r th Platte River to spawn in tributary streams. Additional information was collected on 'life history concerning length of stream and lake residence, numbe r of repeat spawn i ng s, and sex rati o of fish in the spawning run. Tagging of Page 37

G A A G M E E M Summer production data for sharptails indicate little change in the average brood size compared to 1968, but only 115 broods were recorded , compared to 155 last year. Part of the reduction in number of .broods observed could be attributed to late haying operations . Not enough prairie chicken broods were reported to establish an average brood size. The grouse season length and balQ and possession limits were reduced as a result of the lowered population. Season dates were September 20 through October 31 and bag and possession limits were 2 and 4 birds, respectively. Opening weekend success. recorded at 14 check ' stations showed 24 percent less hunters and success (bird/hour), down 13 percent from last year. Prairie chickens ~n the kill dropped f rom 28 percent last year to 19 percent this year. Age ratios indicate a slight increase in production for prairie chickens while sharptails remained about the same as 1968.

Cottontails The 1968 harvest of cottontails was 406,800, down 7 percent from 1967 . Hunter numbers also dropped, from 51,300 in 1967 to 45,800 in 1968, Success was higher than in 1967, so the reduced harvest was a result of less hunters seeking rabbits. Together, the northeast and southeast areas had 72 percent of the hunters and yielded 72 percent of the harvest , while the Panhandle had the highest success with 1.78 rabbits per day . The season is open all year, and the bag and possession limits were 10 and 30, respectively. Squirrels There were 25,800 squirrel hunters in 1968, down 8 percent from the previous year. Squirrel harvest was 130,100 in 1968, or down 25.4 percent from the 174,300 takeB in 1967. The decrease in harvest was due to both fewer hunters and poorer ·hunting success. The 1968 season opened September l and extended through January 31. Seven squirrels were allowed in the daily bag with 21 the legal possession limit . Game Bird Introductions Chukar Partridge: During 1968, 5,017 chukar partridge, which were produced at the Sacramento Game Management Area, were released at sites in western Nebraska . This is the fifth year that chukars have been released in parts of the -Panhandle and at one site in the central Sand Hills .

N T T N G E M E E M E G L A N D M A N A A N A M D N A L Sacramento-Wilcox Game Management Area (4 miles west of Wilcox) A waterfowl and upland game management area, Sacramento consistently provides many hours of hunting opportunity to both residents and nonresidents. A captive flock of Canada geese is located the re and provides a source of Canada geese for other sites within the state. This natural wetland area has been improved for waterfowl by water wells and a water distribution system . This year was one of the best in recent years for duck hunting, as well as fo r pheasan ts . Located nea r the pri ma ry area are t hree satellite areas that also offer waterfowl and upland game use opportun ity. Plattsmouth Waterfowl Management Area (1 mile north of Plattsmouth) Located at the con fl uence of the Platte and Missouri rivers , Plattsmouth is a 11 na tura l II fo r wate rfowl attraction . Although frequently subjected to flooding, the locati on and ext remely ferti le l and s have wo r ked to assure success of this area . The pri mary pu rpose of management ·! s to attract waterfowl and provide hunting oppo r tunityo Both goals have been acc ompl i shed extremely well , Duri ng peak waterf owl use l ast f all , over 80,000 snow geese and 25,000 ducks used the area . App rox imately 1,000 hunter-days were provided to the public. Although fishing i s not the pr ima ry purpose of the area,, it may have accounted for more public use than did the waterfow'! activity. Three and one -half miles of access to the Platte and Mis souri Rive rs i s attractive, especially at a site so close to Nebraska 1 s largest urban area , Clear Creek Wate r fow l Management Area (½ mile south and 3 miles east)
Again, th i s i s a 11 naturaP waterfowl area. The location at the upper end of Lake Mcconaughy, the state's lar ge st lake , as well as on the Hmany -channeledH North Platte Rive r , assures the yea r- round presence of waterfowl. Many of the channels remain 11 open 11 year-round , Both a refuge and pub l i c hunti ng area, Clear Creek attracts ducks and Canada geese . A captive f lock of Canadas is also located there, serving as an attraction to waterfowl and as a base f lock for rep roduction. The peak goose populati on last fall was about 13,000 . It is estimated that over 6,000 man -days of wate rfowl hunt i ng occurred around the perimeter of the refuge, including adjacent pri vate l and s o Although wate r fow l management activi ty i s of prime concern, Clear Creek is rich in fi shery resou rces . Many people fish the area from March through September . Inc i dental to other activities was the banding of some l ,000 doves on or near this area, in co -ope ration with the Fish and Wildlife Service . Pine Ridge Wildl i fe Management Areas (in the Pine Ridge Area of northwest Nebraska) The div i sion managed some 10 ,000 acres in the Pine Ridge , primarily for deer and turkey. Some 80 turkeys and nearly 100 deer were taken by hunters on these areas during the past year. Management act i vity included planting of food and cover plots , wildlife and publi c- use su rveys, and guiding and di recting public use. The management theme on these areas i s the provi sion of a qua lity hunting experience in a unique and beautiful section of the state . Page 53

61 66 AERO COMMANDER AIRCRAFT OPERATION REPORT
During 1969, the Game and Parks Commission aircraft was used primarily as a tool for the transportation of Game and Parks personnel about Nebraska and out-of-state areas. Trips were made again to the east coast for the striped bass and, as last year, all the transportation of fish was successful. During all of November, the aircraft was down for a complete overhaul on both engines. Although work was finished in December, no billing was made until January, 1970, so this cost will not be reflected in the 1969 report but will be included in the 1970 annual report. The aircraft was not used for almost 3½ months (J anuary, February, and March). Very bad icing conditions prevailed , and many scheduled trips had to be cancelled, as the aircraft is not equipped with any deicing equipment. The total and direct operating costs for 1969 was much higher than 1968 or 1967 . Although maintenance and other fixed costs remained about the same or less than 1967 and 1968. During 1969, pilot proficiency time was increased due to the fact that the chief pilot was engaged in flight training for the Airline Transport Pilot Rating, which was issued in August of 1969. This rating is recognized as being very important to a 11 operators of aircraft engaged in our type of flying and is required by many companies for the chief pilot. In 1970, it is hoped that more utilization of the aircraft can be made by department personnel for in-state travel.

This division is charged by state law with the administration and management of the Nebraska state park system . State park areas are administered in the following statutory classifications: STATE PARKS are resource based recreational areas of substantial size , having scenic, scientific, and historical values and complete development potentials. Nebraska at present has four such areas in operations: Chadron, Fort Robinson, Ponca, and Niobrara. One offers a restaurant and hotel rooms, two have group camps, three have swimming pools, and all offer modern housekeeping cabins and overniqht camping facilities. The Commission is in the process of acqu1r1ng a fifth such area, Indian Cave State Park, to meet some of the urgent need for complete state park facilities in the heavily populated southeast section of the state. STATE RECREATION AREAS possess primarily day -use potentials with overnight camping also an important consideration . Such areas are also resource based and are located in accordance with sound park management principles. STATE HISTORICAL PARKS are sites wh i ch are of notable historical significance to the State of Nebraska and are of sufficient size to permit the interpretive potential of the site to be fully developed. Limited day-use facilities may not detract or interfere with the primary purpose of the area. STATE WAYSIDE AREAS are located along main traveled highways, at points of scenic and historical interest where possible. These areas are developed specifically to afford the traveler a safe place to stop and to rest and picnic, with overnight camping of a limited natu re. The following is a resume of 1969 activities by principal areas: STATE PARKS Chadron Three new modern restrooms were completed in the picnic and camning areas. A new residence was completed fo r the assistant superintendent. The swimming pool was sandblasted and painted, and normal housekeeping maintenance was conducted. Fort Robinson Routine maintenance was performed on the grounds . Two permanent light projection towers were moved to the east side of the camp area for the Crazy Horse pageant. The interiors of the brick 1900 officers' quarters were repainted and floors sanded. The floor in the conference hall of the park administration (lodge) building was refinished. Niobrara There was no major flooding at Niobrara in the 1969 season, Guests were registered from 37 different states and 3 provinces in Canada . Silver maples and red cedar trees were planted to replace those lost to the high water table and Dutch Elm disease. The cedar did not adjust to the high water table, but the survival rate of the maples was high.

In addition to the above -described work, the Research Division is charged with providing certain technical services to other divisions and department administrators. During 1969, equipment wa s acquired for the purpose of making immunoelectrophoretic determinations " With this equipment, it is usually possible to identify with certainty the species of animal represented by a sample of fresh meat. In view of the obvious value of such determinations in suspected game law violations, this equipment was purchased by the Law Enforcement Division. Its usefulness in developing evidence has already been demonst rated. The essence of usefulness in research hinges upon keeping it relevant to the problems that actually exist or are imminent in the future. To this end numerous meetings and conferences were conducted with personnel from other divisions and from other agencies to discuss their problems --and to integrate this information into the program of research . Division personnel also participated in several special assignments including preparation of specific portions of the state fish and wildlife plan and assembling of technical information on programs and projects under consideration.
