Nebraska: Top Walleye Spots Named.

Nebraska's largest reservoirs are the state's best walleye habitats and consistently provide the best walleye fishing. That is true every year, with some western Nebraska reservoirs looking particularly good. Minatare, Winters Creek and Box Butte, all in the Nebraska panhandle, will be particularly good for numbers of eating-size walleyes this year. Calamus, Harlan, and Maloney also will offer anglers good numbers of walleyes, while Merritt, McConaughy, Elwood, and Sherman will offer anglers an opportunity to catch a big walleye along with good numbers of fish. Smaller reservoirs in eastern Nebraska are less ideal as walleye habitats, but anglers will have some opportunities to catch walleyes from those waters including a shot at some big fish. Stagecoach, Czechland, Wagon Train, Yankee Hill and Wanahoo will be the best waters to catch a walleye in eastern Nebraska in 2017. Lots of walleyes were sampled at Big Alkali and Lawrence Youngman last fall, but most of those fish were only 10-15-inches long.
