Over the last several years, I have found myself traveling to Valentine, NE in early/middle may to take in the excellent Northern fishing at the Valentine National Wildlife Refuge lakes. These pictures are samples of a particularly good year.
This all started when a friend of mine took a trip up there with his kayak and fishing gear and fished these shallow, sandy bottom lakes one May. He fished mostly the shallow, reed filled end of one of the lakes and hooked several large northern in this fairly clear, shallow water. You can imagine how fun and challenging it is to battle a 30” northern from a one-man kayak in about 3-4 feet of water near the reeds.
The next year he invited me along, and I have returned every year since.
Let us know if you have fished these same lakes for Northern and the results you experienced… Please comment below or email us at heartlandfishing@gmail.com.
