Where can I fly fish in Nebraska?
In just about any of the numerous lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers in the state! At CFF meetings you can get the latest fishing reports on where the fish are biting in Nebraska, and elsewhere, throughout the year.
What kinds of fish can I catch on a fly in Nebraska?
Practically anything that swims. Bass, Bluegill, Bullfrogs, Carp, Catfish, Crappie, Gar, Musky, Perch, Pike, Sunfish, Trout, and Walleye. Fly fishing isn’t just about catching Trout (although we love them too!). Members can even participate in the CFF annual CARPFEST – it’s all about food, fun and fishing for the wily carp.
How do I get started?
Join us for our monthly meetings. Even if you’ve never held a fly rod we’ll help you get started. You will meet CFF members who can show you what equipment is used for the sport and help you develop the needed skills to become proficient.
