Fishing Clinic with Niobrara National Scenic River @ Niobrara State Park, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm, 9/25/22
Niobrara, NE – Junior anglers are invited to join the Niobrara National Scenic River, the Missouri National Recreational River, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and the Friends of the Niobrara for a free summer fishing clinic along the Niobrara River at Niobrara State Park. The clinic will be held on Sunday, September 25, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Niobrara State Park, near Niobrara, NE. Registration is required in advance and anglers under 12 years of age will receive their own fishing pole to take home, courtesy of the National Park Foundation!
This event is appropriate for first-time beginners and youths of all ages. Youths 15 years old and younger do not need a fishing permit, all others are required to have a permit. Learn about what types of fish live in the Niobrara River, how to use a fishing rod, and which baits work best. Participants will walk away with an understanding of responsible fishing.
“The Niobrara National Scenic River is proud to partner with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and our sister park, Missouri National Recreation River to provide this clinic to community,” Niobrara National Scenic River Superintendent Susan Cook stated. “We are excited to engage local youth in our public lands in ways caregivers have for generations. We are also hopeful to expand this program in the future.”
The clinic is free but the State of Nebraska requires vehicle park entry permits for motorized vehicles entering the park. For more information, and to register for the event, please contact the Missouri National Recreational River at (605) 665-0209 or email
