🐟 Family Fishing Events (FREE) in Lincoln Summer 2023

By Mary Monahan April 30, 2019

Fishing is a wonderful way to connect with your family. Whether you are an avid fisherman or new to it (like me), it is a great way to spend time with your children and spouse. Leave technology at home and enjoy nature. There are many different opportunities to enjoy fishing in our area this spring and summer. These events are for novices (like myself) and experienced anglers. Come out and have fun on the water!

This year, new events have been added like discover catfish fishing and fly fishing.

May 20th: Free Park Entry and Fishing Day is offered at all Nebraska State Parks and Recreation Areas. Mark your calendar for this great event and enjoy a free day at the park and fishing. Anglers must observe all fishing regulations. All Nebraska State Parks and recreation areas, all day!

Community Fishing Events are organized by Nebraska Game & Parks and there are several Lincoln-area events. Rods and reels, as well as bait and fishing instruction, will be available for free. Look for the Family Fishing Trailer at each site. All fishing permits and regulations apply. Everyone except Nebraska residents under age 16 must have a valid Nebraska fishing permit.
