The Sturgeon Spawn Is On!

As of April 13, 2024, sturgeon have begun spawning in certain locations.

Princeton Dam, Upper Fox River: No sturgeon have been observed yet.

Sturgeon Trail, New London, Wolf River: Sturgeon are actively spawning! DNR crews will likely be out sampling at this location sometime today.

Bamboo Bend, Shiocton, Wolf River: Sturgeon are actively spawning! DNR crews will likely be out sampling at this location sometime today.

Shawano Dam, Wolf River: Some sturgeon have been spotted, but no spawning activity has started yet.

De Pere Dam, Lower Fox River: No sturgeon have been observed yet, but they could start showing up in the next couple of weeks.

Peshtigo Dam, Peshtigo River: A few sturgeon were seen from the viewing platform in Peshtigo, along with a mix of walleyes and suckers spawning.

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 specific location, make sure you get out and see them soon.

Updates will be made on our sturgeon spawning webpage as changes occur. Stay informed: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Fishing/sturgeon/SturgeonSpawning.html.
