Fish for largemouth
bass at interstate
lakesb
September to November
Central Nebraska
Fall is one of the best times to catch big
bass, and one place they can be found is in
Nebraska's interstate lakes — dozens of small
water bodies scattered along Interstate 80
from Grand Island to Sutherland. According
to fi sheries biologist Daryl Bauer, they may
contain largemouth bass as large as 5 or 6
pounds this year. You can fi sh more than one
of these lakes in a day. Find a guide to the
I-80 lakes on the Fishing Guides and Reports
page at OutdoorNebraska.gov.

this month
Oct. 6 | Statewide
The Harvest Moon — also known as the Hunter's Moon — will
reach peak illumination at 10:48 p.m. Central Time on Monday,
Oct. 6. Plus, it's a supermoon — the very fi rst of 2025 — so
it's bigger and brighter than usual. You can use binoculars, a
telescope or your naked eye. Use a lunar fi lter on telescopes to
reduce glare.
