Fishing has always been the primary drawing card at Lake Mac, with

its cool, clear, deep waters. Game fish vary from the sporty rainbow

trout to the every-day channel catfish. Prized most highly by the local

angler is the walleye, and Nebraska's current state record of 16-lbs., 2

oz. came from Lake McConaughy. Also top ranked is the white bass

fishing. In recent years, wipers, a white bass/striped bass hybrid, have

been stocked in the lake, offering a tackle-testing contest the angler will

not soon forget. A few large striped bass still remain in the lake from

stockings in the 1970s and 80s.
