Valentine refuge lakes hold large fish for patient anglers

Nebraska anglers overlook Valentine National Wildlife Refuge lakes where surveys found Watts Lake bluegill and crappie reaching nine to eleven inches with light harvest. Dewey Lake yielded substantial walleye two to six pounds, though refuge rules ban minnows, motors, and overnight camping making night or trolling fishing difficult. Spincast jigs and artificials may unlock strong angling opportunities at the underfished refuge.
