Husker Bass Club will host a fun day of fishing for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families at a private, well stocked lake located just outside of Omaha. They will provide everything you need to fish, a wonderful lunch under a shaded pavilion, plenty of water to drink, and an ice cream treat! Come and enjoy the lake and loads of wildlife (peacocks, swans, horses, llamas, and more) in a park-like setting.
They will practice catch and release on all fish caught, so bring your cameras to record the “Big Fish.” Portable restrooms are available on site. You may also want to bring sunscreen and a chair to sit lakeside.
