Trout Family Fishing Events Scheduled Across State

LINCOLN – Young and inexperienced anglers are invited to explore the fun of fishing in October at a series of Trout Family Fishing events across Nebraska.

Rods and reels, hooks, bobbers, weights and worms are all anglers will need to start catching rainbow trout. All of that equipment and bait will be loaned for free. Volunteer instructors will be on hand to assist anglers.
