MADISON - Wisconsin's
hook-and-line lake sturgeon season is about to get under
way.
The season is set to open on
Saturday and run through Sept. 30. The season bag limit is
one fish at least 60 inches long.
State Department of Natural
Resources officials say it's difficult to predict the
prospects because water levels are so high.
They say higher water levels
can get fish moving. But the higher levels are washing more
food into the water, so sturgeon may not be as hungry and
interested in angler's baits.
The higher levels also have
contributed to a bumper crop of mosquitoes that could make
fishing from shore a nightmare. DNR officials say anglers
should pack plenty of bug repellant.
