OutdoorNebraska.gov | 7 Salvage Permit – The permit allows for the salvage of fish from selected irrigation canals located in the Platte River, Republican River and Loup River drainages. Applications must be submitted to Game and Parks' North Platte district office or the Kearney service center. Live fish cannot be transported in water from a canal because the potential for moving diseases and aquatic invasive species exists. Fish for consumption should be transported on ice. PERMIT REVOCATION Under Nebraska law, hunting and fishing privileges may be revoked for some game law and court-determined violations. This could include certain one-time offenses by individuals or repeated violations by habitual offenders. Any person whose privilege to hunt, fish or harvest fur has been suspended or revoked in another jurisdiction within the United States or Canada also shall be prohibited from obtaining a permit for such activity in Nebraska for the duration of the suspension. PERMIT REQUIREMENTS ON BORDER WATERS Anglers holding a Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa or Missouri sport fishing license may fish all waters of the Missouri River in the state they are licensed, and Missouri River waters of the state immediately across the river. • Missouri River waters are defined to include all flowing portions and backwaters, sloughs and chutes that draw water from the Missouri River. • Oxbows and backwaters separated from the Missouri River by land are included if the state boundary line passes through some part of such waters. • Mouths of tributaries may be fished only in the state that the angler is licensed. • Anglers may fish from either bank or boats. • Anglers fishing in the state for which they do not hold a fishing permit must abide by the more restrictive of the two state's regulations. • Nonresident South Dakota permits are not valid from Gavins Point Dam to 0.6 miles downstream. • Iowa and Missouri resident anglers may fish waters of Hamburg Bend Wildlife Management Area and the Nebraska portion of the Missouri River from the chute entrance (adjacent to Iowa) to the chute exit (adjacent to Missouri). WHEN FISHING PERMIT IS NOT REQUIRED Owners or their guests fishing on a private water body are not required to have a fishing permit if all of the following apply to that water: 1) is located entirely on private land, 2) is entirely privately stocked, 3) does not connect by inflow or outflow with any other water outside such land, and 4) is not operated on a commercial basis for profit. In addition, any licensed commercial put-and-take operation is exempt from a fishing permit.
