2011 Lake Sturgeon Spawning

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:23:07 -0400

SPAWNING UPDATE

Saturday, April 16, 2011
Afternoon: We captured and tagged 32 spawning lake sturgeon (3 females, 29 males) this afternoon at Bamboo Bend in Shiocton, and 12 (all males) at the Cty X Sturgeon Trail in New London. There were probably 4 females spawning at Bamboo Bend and 1 or 2 spawning at Cty X. All of the females appeared that they had just begun spawning late this morning and may still be around tomorrow (Sunday) morning. We are going to check activity in the morning to see if any other new females moved in to begin spawning. The long range forecast is calling for a cool upcoming week gradually warming to near 60 by next weekend. Given this forecast, the most intense spawning could begin later this week. For the next few days though there may be a few fish around for people to see at Bamboo Bend and Cty X. There are a few sturgeon that have moved in below the Shawano dam, but they are not spawning yet and the water temps in that area of the river have a long ways to go to make the fish active at that site.
