Fish interstate lakes
Throughout the month
Central Nebraska
Enjoy good fi shing at the 40 sandpit
lakes along Interstate 80. Almost all
have largemouth bass, bluegills, channel
catfi sh and a variety of other species.
Nearly all are open to the public, and
they're close enough together that you
can fi sh two or three in a day. Find a guide
to fi shing this area at
OutdoorNebraska.org/wheretofi sh.
