The longest and heaviest catch of his career landed Geringโs Andy Fitts the grand prize in this yearโs Star-Herald Biggest Fish Contest sponsored by Cabelaโs.
Fitts reeled in a northern pike on Aug. 5 at Box Butte Reservoir. The fish measured a whopping 40 inches in length and weighed a hefty 14.7 pounds.

My last fishing trip took me into the Pacific Ocean in July with my brother Mike and son Kevin.
We had hoped to catch salmon, but the fish were moving up the coast from the south and hadnโt yet reached our port in Oregon. But that didnโt stop us. We made two trips for bottom fish out of Depoe Bay, which bills itself as the worldโs smallest harbor.

Fly rods these days are made of graphite, the same as most any modern fishing rod.
For the angler, every spring brings a renewal of ancient mysteries: Are the walleyes biting? Are they hiding in the trees? When will irrigation water roll down from Wyoming to refill the local lakes? Does that old coot who writes the fishing column still work for the paper?
