Rods and reels will be provided, but you may use your own if so inclined.
Take your fish to the cleaning table for demonstrations on filleting and scoring. Free fish samples along with Dutch oven dessert will be served.

Both are sold at Prairie Mart at the turn of the lake, park permits are available at the kiosk at the lake entrance, online at OutdoorNebrqaska.gov.
