Take Em Fishing Challenge

Take a beginner fishing. Submit pictures of your adventures. Win prizes!

If you love to fish, you know it’s one of the best ways to spend quality time with your favorite people. It’s how you choose to create adventures. How you build new memories and share old ones.

So share your love for the sport by participating in year four of the Nebraska Game and Parks Take ’em Fishing challenge. Take someone new! Whether they’ve never fished before or just fallen out of the habit doesn’t matter: Take ’em fishing. You’ll be glad you did.

When you take ’em, be sure to snap a photo and fill out the submission form (available April 15, 2022). You’ll be registered to win great fishing adventure packages and other prizes!

Why fishing?

Anglers like you maintain the health of Nebraska’s lakes, streams and rivers. Money generated through the sale of fishing permits and aquatic habitat stamps is used to maintain healthy fisheries in Nebraska water bodies, and to improve access for anglers. We need your help to engage our next generation of anglers to ensure the health and vitality of Nebraska’s aquatic resources for generations to come.

How it works

Each time you go, submit a photo of yourself fishing with the person you took, tell us about your trip, and you’ll be automatically registered into our Take ’em Fishing drawing. Prize winners will be contacted by Nebraska Game and Parks and announced on social media.

In 2022, we’re offering four grand prizes, among our giveaways:

  • three Stay and Play fishing adventures, including a two-night cabin stay plus fishing and outdoor gear.
  • one Float and Play fishing adventure, including a kayak plus fishing and outdoor gear.

Remember to buy your Nebraska fishing permit online if you haven’t already. Youth 15 years old and younger do not need a permit.
