Sturgeon Season Deadline Looming

The deadline to apply for Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing season is tomorrow. 

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says tags will be required for anyone hoping to spear for sturgeon, due to higher harvest rates in the Upriver Lakes Program.  Spearing tags will be chosen through a drawing, allowing 500 individuals to spear sturgeon each.  Those selected will be notified in October, and the season will start in February of next year.
