A soon-to-be underwater view of the aquatic habitat and
angler access improvements underway at Conestoga
Reservoir southwest of Lincoln. Excavation, basin
sculpting, rock piles and root wads are great for fish,
while the new breakwater and ADA piers will be great
for fishing. To see drone footage of this project, visit
