Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Enthusiasts:

The 2017 lake sturgeon spawning run on the Wolf River has begun.  Fish are currently spawning at the Sturgeon Trail in New London and Bamboo Bend in Shiocton.  Our fisheries crew will be tagging fish at these two locations today and both are publicly accessible.  If you plan to come see the sturgeon spawn this spring, I suggest making plans to come to one of these two locations within the next couple of days.  Peak spawning activity typically only takes place for a day or two at a given site, so don't wait too long.

Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Enthusiasts:
 
We had two crews tagging sturgeon on the Wolf River yesterday. One crew was working downstream in the New London and Shiocton area.  That crew handled 50 fish at the Sturgeon Trail in New London, 20 fish at Pfeifer Park on the Embarrass River in New London, 20 fish at Bamboo Bend, 1 fish at Spurr Road on the Embarrass River, 7 fish at Behnke’s Bridge on the Embarrass River, and 7 fish at the Shawano Dam.  The other crew worked in the Leeman area at two sites on private property, handling a total of 189 fish.
 
For today (Wednesday) there are fish spawning throughout the Wolf River from New London up to Shawano. There are still some fish spawning at the lower sites like Bamboo Bend and the Sturgeon Trail, but those sites are on the down swing.  There are a good number of fish below the Shawano Dam this morning and I expect fish to be actively spawning there for the next couple of days.
 
This is shaping up to be a quick spawning run, so don’t wait too long to get out and see the sturgeon spawn this spring.
