Fishing Fun at Sherman Dam and Nebraskas Centennial Note
Three Polk men fish Sherman dam near Loup City over a weekend. They recount others with larger catches, joke about lures and a worm on a line, mention Arnold Neuhaus with 20 walleye, and criticize Nebraska's state song and Centennial pages. The tone is humorous and reflective with local figures named.
