Barbs and Backlashes

About Daryl

I am a lifelong resident of Nebraska (except for a couple of years spent going to graduate school in South Dakota). I have been employed as a fisheries biologist for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for 20 years. My current tour of duty is as the fisheries outreach program manager.

I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree from the University of Nebraska in Natural Resource Management with an emphasis on fish and wildlife management. My Master’s degree in Fisheries Science is from South Dakota State University.

I am an active participant in the Walleye Technical Committee of the North-Central Division of the American Fisheries Society and in the Nebraska Chapter of the American Fisheries Society (served as state chapter secretary/treasurer and president). I have authored or co-authored four technical papers that have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and authored numerous articles and columns that have appeared in popular publications like NEBRASKAland magazine, Outdoor Nebraska newspaper, South Dakota Conservation Digest, Walleye Insider, and In-Fisherman.

For the past 10 years, I have taught Basic Fishing classes for Nebraska’s Becoming and Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program. I have frequently presented at scientific meetings (e.g. Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference) and public meetings concerning fisheries management, and I am a seminar speaker on fish biology and fishing techniques.

I want to share my educational knowledge, but I also am an avid multi-species angler. I hold more than 70 Nebraska Master Angler Awards for 13 different species and hold more than 20 In-Fisherman Master Angler Awards for eight different species.

I love to talk fishing and answer questions about fishing in Nebraska, so if you have a question, by all means, e-mail it.
