(posted February 17th, 2010)
Thought I would let everyone know that our 30th annual Blue Valley Bass Club “Blast Off” is coming sooner than you think. For the people who aren’t familiar with our show, we have between 25 and 30 displayers selling their goods. From Mr. Walleye fish batter to Dick Turpin turkey calls and of course fishing and hunting equipment. There are a few booths for the ladies too.
The best part is that we feed you with the best pork roast you ever tasted, along with your favorite beverage. ALL FOR ONLY 10 BUCKS!! Go through the line as many times as you want, we’ll have plenty. So load up the wife and kids and have five hours of fun. We also have a raffle with 20 to 30 great items. We sell the tickets in advance so we can get a head count for food. ($15.00 at the door). We will have posters all around Seward Co. York Co, and Lancaster Co. If you need a poster let me know, I’ll get it to you.
WHEN: March 27th, 2010
WHERE: Seward, NE at the Seward Ag Hall at the park by the swimming pool

Dear Youth Fishing Instructor or Fishing Club Member,

This spring the Game & Parks Commission is preparing for three Nebraska EXPOS in different parts of the state and I'm in need of your help! Each EXPO is a little different and will be held at various locations. Please look over the activity offerings and locations to see if you would be able to help with any of the programs.
Fly Fishing & Fly Tying; Students will learn how to cast a fly rod and about the aquatic insects, their identification, and flies that are tied to mimic them to catch fish. Fishing Basics; Students will learn about common fish of Nebraska and casting technique. Then students will put their new skills to the test as they go fishing.

Very Sad News
(Posted July 20th, 2009)
On July 17th, 2009 we lost a very longtime member of Douglas County Bassmasters. Dick Herringer died on Saturday night on Table Rock Lake via a boating accident. His wife Sue was with him at the time but was not hurt.
He died while doing something he truly loved, was with the love of his life, and died without suffering. It is a sad day and I will miss him.
The visitation for Dick's funeral will be Wednesday July 22nd from 6 PM to 8 PM at Bellevue Memorial Funeral Chapel, 2202 Hancock, Bellevue, NE 68005 (402) 291-5000. The funeral service will be Thursday July 23rd, 2009 at 10:00 am at the same location. A lunch will follow.
Sue told me that anyone who wishes to say a few words about Dick will be invited to do so during the funeral service. I am planning on doing so though it will be brief.
You all know what I know as of now. Please share this information with Dick's friends and acquaintances.

Legacy Lake News
(posted March 18th, 2009)
The Auburn Lake Company has launched a new and improved website for the Legacy Lake project. If you haven't heard about the project, they are working towards building a 3000 acre lake just south of Pawnee City in Southeast Nebraska. The lake will be the 7th largest body of water in the state of Nebraska and the largest lake in the eastern half of the state.
Nebraska native and Bassmasters Classic champion Denny Brauer will be a design consultant when the lake is built and says, "When it gets to the building stage, that's where I'll come in. I'll be working in conjunction with Tetra Tech – they're the people who'll actually be building the lake."
The initial plan is to stock the lake with bass, bluegill and catfish. "We'll definitely lean toward the best habitat for largemouth bass, without a doubt." says Brauer. "I will make the 3000 acres of Legacy Lake fish like a 6000 acre lake."
Visit the Legacy Lake website at http://www.legacylakenebraska.com for much more information on the project, including project details, maps, regional water information, and a forum where you can voice your opinions and ask questions about the lake.
