About this water
The central Platte River near Kearney offers accessible wade fishing for channel catfish, flathead catfish, and occasional walleye in the braided channels. The wide, shallow river is best fished during late summer when water levels drop and fish concentrate in deeper holes. Access is available from several public boat ramps and parks in the area.
