STURGEON UPDATE – As of Tuesday, 273 sturgeon had been tagged and recorded, a new record. All of this is made possible by the hosts who camp out here for 4-5 weeks and the MSU volunteers who toil for hours each day in the mud wrestling these incredibly strong living fossils. On May 26, they processed 30 in one hole in the river, and had 5 more holes to work that day. They do this each day of the spawn run to update data and verify RFD info. 5th graders released a 1 year old they had raised.
