A Nebraska Game and Parks fisheries biologist holds a channel catfish captured in a frame net while
sampling fish at Stagecoach State Recreation Area. A project completed in 2018 renovated and restocked
the fishery, which was dominated by gizzard shad and common carp, and improved angler access in the
reservoir.
