Mormon Island is off from the Grand Island Exit. I didn't fish there. There are a number of rest areas near North Platte, Kearney and Grand Island that have small ponds right in the rest area for travelers to stop and fish at. All hold fish. I also fished the ponds near Wood River Exit as well as Alda Exit as there was a truck stop across the street. In the western part of the state at the Chappel Exit not far from Sidney, holds some great fishing.
As for taking the time to stop and fish, most of the time my fishing trips were no more than one hour long. Sometimes, it would work out so my day ended near a good place to fish and I could get in some evening fishing. You can Google "Nebraska I 80 Interstate Lakes" fishing info and you will have all the info you need, including what kind of fish can be caught at each one.
I caught Bluegill, Crappie, LM Bass, Green Sunfish, Rock Bass, Channel Catfish and Redear Sunfish. I had a ball......just the thing to get the heck out of the truck and unwind.
