(Audio) Lake McConaughy Area Outdoor Report for week of June 24th

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission approved staff recommendations for a 2025 mountain lion hunting season at its June 21 meeting in Ogallala.

For the first time, a hunting season will take place in the Wildcat Hills. A Wildcat Hills Unit was created, joining the existing Pine Ridge Unit and Niobrara Unit as areas that allow mountain lion harvest.

The Wildcat Hills Unit encompasses parts of Scotts Bluff, Morrill, Cheyenne, Garden, Kimball, and Banner counties. The objective for the unit is to provide a harvest opportunity for hunters that will keep the lion population resilient while slightly reducing their numbers.

The eastern boundary of the Niobrara Unit also is moved to U.S. Highway 281.

Game and Parks’ genetic surveys in 2023 estimate there are 70 mountain lions in the Pine Ridge, up from the last estimate of 33 in 2021. Surveys that will allow population estimates for the Niobrara and Wildcat Hills are presently being conducted. Twenty-seven mountain lions were documented in the Niobrara Valley during 2023, and 24 were documented in the Wildcat Hills.

Season 1 in all three units will take place Jan. 2, 2025, through the end of February. The season will end immediately in a unit if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit is reached. The Pine Ridge limit will be 12 mountain lions with a sub-limit of six females, the Niobrara limit will be four mountain lions with a two female sub-limit, and the Wildcat Hills limit will be three mountain lions with a two female sub-limit.

Up to 960 permits could be issued by lottery in the Pine Ridge Unit, up to 320 permits in the Niobrara Unit, and up to 240 permits in the Wildcat Hills Unit. Permits will be available to residents only. An auxiliary season that allows the use of dogs would be March 15 through the end of March if the annual harvest limit or female sub-limit were not reached during Season 1 in any unit. A number of permits equal to the number of lions remaining in the limit would be issued by lottery to unsuccessful permit holders from that unit who apply for the auxiliary season.

In other business, commissioners approved state park regulation changes that:

Commissioners also approved these fisheries regulation changes:

Fisheries staff presented a report on Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala. The relative abundance of walleye at Lake Mac still is good. To maintain the fishery, more than 49 million walleye fry and fingerlings were stocked in 2022 and 2023. Alewife, a prey species for walleye, were sampled in July 2023, and it was estimated the baitfish’s population in Lake Mac was 59,868,702. Staff also reported 46% of the smallmouth bass sampled while electrofishing were Master Angler size.

Before the 2023 renovation of Lake Ogallala, sampling of the fishery revealed 67% of the fish by weight were common carp. One rainbow trout was sampled. Following the renovation, 56,113 rainbows were stocked, and the sampling catch rate for trout and yellow perch is 96 times higher than before the renovation.

Parks staff gave a review of Memorial Day weekend at Lake McConaughy SRA, including visitor demographics, and a look ahead to the Fourth of July holiday.

Staff updated commissioners on outreach taking place in west-central Nebraska. That includes programs such as Becoming an Outdoors-Woman, fishing programs for children, and communications through television, newspaper and Nebraskaland Magazine.

(GRAND ISLAND, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— 58 high school students got the chance to train like a trooper last week at the Nebraska State Patrol Training Academy. The cadets were all part of the 54th&nbsp;Junior Law Academy, which gives high school seniors-to-be a glimpse of what it takes to be a Nebraska State Trooper.

“These cadets worked hard throughout the entire week, taking on some of the same training that our troopers go through,” said Captain Andy Ecklund, NSP Director of Training. “Junior Law gives these students an experience they’ll remember for years to come. These young men and women showed determination to complete the training and the drive necessary to make a difference for our state. We’d love to have them become Nebraska Troopers in a few years.”

Last week, 28 boys and 30 girls graduated from the 54th&nbsp;Junior Law Academy. Several of the cadets received awards for their excellent performances during the week.

2024 Boys Outstanding Cadet: Wesley Vick (Plattsmouth)

2024 Girls Outstanding Cadet: Aubrie Seybold (McCook)

2024 Boys Marksmanship Award: Justin Haskins (Lyman)

2024 Girls Marksmanship Award: Zylena Ramirez (Lincoln)

2024 Boys Driving Award: Thomas Walker (Winnebago)

2024 Girls Driving Award: Kesli Cox (Hayes Center)

Junior Law is an annual program organized by the American Legion Department of Nebraska and hosted by the NSP Training Academy in Grand Island. High school juniors from across the state are eligible to apply for the program. Troopers from around Nebraska come together to teach the cadets and put them through several blocks of training. Several current Nebraska State Troopers are graduates of Junior Law.

Applications for the 55th&nbsp;Junior Law Academy, scheduled for June 2025, will be made available in the coming months at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nebraskalegion.net/Programs/JRLaw.html" target="_blank">American Legion website</a>. The academy is open to boys and girls who are preparing for their senior year of high school.

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) has been notified of high levels of E. Coli at Medicine Creek State Recreation Area, also known as Harry Strunk Lake, located in Frontier County. This means the water has a higher than usual number of bacteria, and residents should take extra care to not swallow any lake water.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“With the assistance of DHHS, we carefully monitor our lakes weekly during the summer for potential health risks,” explains Melissa Propp, Clinic Manager at SWNPHD. “When a lake has high E Coli levels, we recommend using caution around the water. If you are going to swim, make sure not to swallow water and don’t allow pets to drink the lake water.”&nbsp;

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), swimming during high E Coli levels can cause health issues. Young children should not be in the water at this point in time, since they are more susceptible to complications from E. Coli and other bacterial infections.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Symptoms can include abdominal cramps or pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite, usually 3 or 4 days after exposure to the water. If you swam and are having these symptoms, contact your medical provider.&nbsp;

“Bacteria levels can change quickly and usually do not last long, depending on the conditions,” stated Propp. “You can check the Beach Watch website which is updated weekly by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), from May through September.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

For more information call SWNPHD at 308-345-4223. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department serves Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Hayes, Hitchcock, Keith, Perkins, and Red Willow counties. The website swhealth.ne.gov contains many resources and additional information helpful to prevent disease, promote wellness, and protect health. You can also follow SWNPHD on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.&nbsp;

Harry Strunk Lake Health Notice 

LINCOLN, NE&nbsp;-- Governor Jim Pillen is taking two immediate actions to help mitigate the impacts resulting from a series of strong storms that resulted in damage to nearly 20 Nebraska counties.

The storms occurred May 20 – June 3, resulting in severe thunderstorms, high winds, multiple tornadoes, heavy rain and flooding. There was damage to private property, public property and infrastructure in Butler, Colfax, Dodge, Douglas, Dundy, Fillmore, Hamilton, Hayes, Hitchcock, Howard, Keith, Lincoln, Platte, Polk, Red Willow, Saunders and Washington counties.

Gov. Pillen has issued an emergency disaster declaration, which will free up state funds and resources to assist those counties in addressing damage and other issues.

In a separate, but related action, Gov. Pillen has asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for additional time to complete preliminary damage assessments in those counties. Those assessments will further support the state’s request for federal assistance. The 30-day extension, if approved, would last until Aug. 2.

The Hot Sheets: June 23rd, 2024

North Platte, Ne - Around 3am Saturday a small cluster of storms rolled through Lincoln County, however they packed a punch with winds that uprooted trees and even took the roof off an outbuilding at Mead Lumber at the corner of 6th and Eastman.&nbsp;

Dillon and Crystal Johnson live across the the street to the south and said "the wind hit around 3am, we heard a loud bang (sound) and the electricity went off." The Johnson's said city workers were quick to the scene and began to clear the street and work on getting electricty restored which they did about 50 minutes later. When the roof blew off it caught the power line as it sailed across the street.&nbsp;

Brandon Jones,&nbsp;Vice President of Construction Operations at Beveridge Incorporated was on the scene Saturday morning and said they were bringing in an excavator to help get the roof out of the tree.&nbsp;

There was damage all over North Platte including the airport where Trego Dugan had hanger doors damaged.&nbsp;

The National Weather Service was out surveying damage Saturday morning but hasn't released a statement in regards to what may have played a part in the wind damage. The Weather Service is calling for partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 87 today. North northwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
