Midwest Walleye Challenge returns for second year

Anglers and biologists again are joining forces to bring a new kind of fishing tournament to Nebraska.

The second year of the Midwest Walleye Challenge will give anglers in states across the Midwest a chance to compete for prizes while collecting important data for biologists.

The collection of angler catch data during the Nebraska challenge, which runs April 1-June 29, can help the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission learn more about Nebraska walleye fisheries. In the process, Nebraska anglers can see how their walleye fisheries compare to others in the Midwest.
