Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Enthusiasts:
Sturgeon spawning really picked up within the Wolf River watershed today,
including at the Shawano Dam. We had two crews out tagging today between Leeman
and Shawano. One crew handled 180 fish at a private site in Leeman and 18 fish
on the mill side of the Shawano Dam. The other crew handled 33 fish at another
site on private property in Leeman, 17 fish at Hwy 156, and 13 fish at the
Shawano Dam.
The story of today is that the fish have moved in at the Shawano Dam. There
have been fish visible there for the last couple of days, but the fish have now
begun spawning there. Tomorrow and Saturday will be big tagging days at the
Shawano Dam, so I suggest heading towards Shawano if you want to see fish
spawning in the next couple of days.
We are committed to service excellence.

how I did.
