Chat with a Fisheries Biologist: North Platte

Join us for an exciting day at Lake Maloney State Recreation Area in North Platte, featuring our Community Fishing event and the annual Carp-O-Rama! Held at the east boat ramp, this event is an excellent opportunity for anglers of all skill levels. Attendees can engage in a direct conversation with a Nebraska Game and Parks fisheries biologist, who will provide insight on local lakes, fish species, stocking efforts, and fisheries management. Whether you're curious about fishing locations or management practices, this is a chance to get your questions answered. Additionally, Carp-O-Rama includes hands-on demonstrations on how to catch, clean, and cook carp, making it perfect for both novices and experienced fishers. This fun, free event requires a valid state park permit for entry. Join us for a day of fishing, learning, and community!
