Shawano residents will likely need to wait at least another three to five days before they will be able to view sturgeon spawning along the Wolf River at the Shawano dam.
Ryan Koenigs, of the Department of Natural Resources, reports there is little activity in the Shawano area due to the cold weather. “It will be at least a few more days from spawning at the Shawano dam,” Koenigs said Monday.
The DNR reported on its website the sturgeon guard tagged 91 fish in the New London area Sunday, including a 68.5 inch female.
In addition, Koenigs reported preliminary spawning activity along the Wolf River in Shiocton on Monday, about 40 miles away. Sturgeon typically begin spawning between April 15 and May 1.
