DO NOT

FORGET

 
you need a Nebraska fishing license to fish at our lake! You can get one online from Nebraska Game & Parks Website. This link will take you there -- and away from our site. www.ngpc.state.ne.us/fishing This section is dedicated to improving the quality of our fishing,
and provide guidelines for our fishing buddies. Ron Bouc is the committee chairman for Duncan Lakes Fish & Habitat Group. Sometimes he is a group of one, and sometimes he has helpers.

He is a good guy to know -- he knows where all the crappie beds are!! #1 Catch & Release on Largemouth Bass & Northern Pike. #2 = There is a 15" length limit on Walleye. (Walleye can be kept to eat when they are 15" or longer.) Currently the signs at the lake as well as the website fishing information page state "Catch & release on bass and pike."  I was wondering if this may be a little confusing as we have white bass & hybrid bass in the lake which are members of the bass family but can be kept to eat. Some people might think that the word Bass includes these two species for catch & release. Also the walleye is a member of the pike family so some people may think that the catch and release also includes the Walleye. Maybe by specifying the words Largemouth & Northern it will make it easier for everyone to understand. The 15" length limit rule for Walleye is only a few years old so some people may not be aware of it or they may have forgotten this rule. This would be a good way to inform or remind them that the Walleye can be kept to eat when they are 15" My sister caught a couple of Walleye last weekend, one was a little over 15" and one was just under 15". This is good to see as it looks like the 7" walleye that we put in a few years back are doing good. I have attached a picture of my sister holding a walleye that she caught last weekend that didn't quite make the 15" length limit and was returned to the lake.  Here are some photos of the stocking from Dave Crane.    Dave Crane says the lake was stocked with the following fish last fall (2012). We are all waiting for them to grow up table size. 280 6-8 inch Wipers 200 4-6 inch Yellow Perch 3000 Fathead minnows 500 2-3 inch Hybrid Blue Gills 300 3-4 inch Black Crappie 200 4-6 inch Black Crappie 100 5-7 inch Walleyeshttp://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/fishingmailto:rbouc@earthlink.nethttp://livepage.apple.com/shapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
