Raising Freshwater Mussels in Nebraska: a conservation success

Freshwater mussels are native to Nebraska's rivers and streams, and can be found in canals and some reservoirs.

We used to go out and collect a few to use as catfish bait when I was a kid. It got too hard to find them as the years went on though. Glad to see a comeback might be on the horizon. By a few I only mean a dozen or so every few weeks, so I like to think we wouldn't have had much of an impact on the population.

I called the Valentine hatchery to see if I could take my 8 & 9 year old boys there for a tour and was greeted by an extremely unenthusiastic man saying we don't have anything here to look at. The state should change their website to state this rather than encourage people to call to schedule a tour.
