As of yesterday, May 5th, sturgeon can still be seen on the Peshtigo and Lower Fox rivers. Here’s a look at where sturgeon are throughout the Winnebago System:
- Princeton Dam, Upper Fox River: Sturgeon are no longer spawning at this location.
- Sturgeon Trail, New London, Wolf River: Sturgeon are no longer spawning at this location.
- Bamboo Bend, Shiocton, Wolf River: Sturgeon are no longer spawning at this location.
- Hwy 156: No activity to report.
- Shawano Dam, Wolf River: Sturgeon are no longer spawning at this location.
- De Pere Dam, Lower Fox River: Numbers of sturgeon have declined from what was observed over the weekend. There are still 5-10 sturgeon hanging around the area, but no spawning activity was observed today.
- Peshtigo Dam, Peshtigo River: Sturgeon can still be seen staging below the Peshtigo Dam. High flows should start to taper off in the coming days, which will make it a bit easier to view sturgeon. As of this morning, there were no signs of spawning activity.
- Sturgeon patterns can change rapidly. Though they may be at one location in the morning, they may not be that evening. As a result, if you’d like to see them at a certain location, make sure you get out and see them soon.
