The South Central District Fisheries Information Meeting held on May 23, 2025, provided a platform for local anglers and community members to learn about significant updates and initiatives in Nebraska's fisheries management. Hosted by Brad Ifert, the South Central District Manager, the meeting attracted around 30 participants online, with more joining throughout the session.

One of the key highlights was the recent redistricting of Nebraska's fisheries management, which expanded the South Central District from four to five districts. This change aims to enhance customer service for anglers and streamline workloads for staff. The South Central District now encompasses approximately 20 counties, including newly added areas from the Northeast District, and manages over 23 public water bodies covering around 23,000 acres.

The meeting also featured discussions on ongoing projects within the district, updates on fish management and research, and reservoir level information. A significant focus was placed on raising awareness about aquatic invasive species, which pose a threat to local ecosystems and fishing activities. Participants were encouraged to engage by submitting questions, which would be addressed at the end of the presentation.

For those unable to attend, the presentations will be available on the Game and Parks YouTube channel, ensuring that the community remains informed about the developments in their local fisheries. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming Southwest District information session, further emphasizing the commitment to keeping the public engaged and informed about fisheries management in Nebraska.
