The DNR reports day three of the 2021 sturgeon spearing season continued to see extreme cold temperatures.
Overall on day three, the Wisconsin Department of Natual Resources said 170 fish were harvested on the Winnebago System, with 134 harvested on Lake Winnebago and 36 harvested on the Upriver Lakes. The registration stations on the northern half of Lake Winnebago continue to lead the daily number of fish registered, the DNR says.
Through three days of harvest on Lake Winnebago, the DNR says 104 juvenile females, 280 adult females, and 225 males have been harvested in total. Each of the Lake Winnebago sex-specific harvest caps remains far from being reached.
The Upriver Lakes season totals have reached 34 juvenile females, 56 adult females, and 173 males. Monday’s addition of harvested males and adult females to the Upriver Lakes total harvest has resulted in 30 adult females and 43 males remaining to hit the 90% trigger, the DNR says.
