Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Enthusiasts:
Our fisheries crew was out tagging sturgeon in the New London area again
today. We handled 62 fish at the Sturgeon Trail in New London and another 37
fish at Pfeifer Park on the Embarrass River in New London. The largest fish
handled today was a 71.0” female that was captured at the Sturgeon Trail.
Spawning activity ramped up at Bamboo Bend today and fish are likely
spawning at other locations in the Shiocton area. For tomorrow, I would
anticipate that fish will still be active at the Sturgeon Trail, Pfeifer Park,
and Bamboo Bend. We stopped and checked activity at numerous other sites today,
but no spawning was observed. Fish are showing pre-spawn behaviors, but not
actively spawning yet.
We are committed to service
excellence.
