One of the tagged Lake Sturgeon of the St Croix was recaptured this spring by the WI DNR at the dam in Eau Clair WI.
Anyone have a clue as to those river miles?

Not sure on that distance but I remember reading about one tagged in WI that was caught in Ohio or something. I’ll see what I can find.

In 1994 someone caught a sturgeon on the east coast of Michigan in Saginaw Bay with a tag on it. The fish was originally tagged at Lake Winnebago, which means that this fish traveled a total of 850 miles over 16 years, navigating 14 dams, 17 locks, Lake Michigan, the Straits of Mackinac, and Lake Huron. An amazing migration!
