OGALLALA, Neb.—A portion of the face of Kingsley Dam at Lake McConaughy will be closed to fisherman over the next week to protect netting operations by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
The closure begins Sunday.
Southwest Nebraska fisheries supervisor Darrol Eichner (IKE-ner) says the area of the dam that will be closed will be from where the rocks begin on the north end of the dam to a point south of there that the commission deems necessary to complete their netting operation. The south point will be marked with a flashing light.
Eichner says the netting operation will collect walleye eggs for hatchery production. He says the spawning run has not begun at Lake McConaughy but should develop soon.
