I know this is the warm water forum, but Nebraska isn't know for cold water fishing.

Skershaw is one of the guys who got me into fly fishing, so when I decided to hit the water last night, he was on the short list of people I called to see if they wanted to join me.

It was a beautiful sight when I pulled into the park and saw the entire lake was open.

First fish was in hand within three casts. Gills are my favorite, but bless the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for stocking rainbow's in many Omaha metro lakes during the spring and fall. They sure do fight better in February than most fish around here.

First decent fish of the 09 season. (some small gills, crappie and bass have already been caught, but all were small, and no fight.)


Kershaw got a few too!


I'm loving my new 3wt, nothing special, just a three forks combo from Cabela's.
