From page 50 of 2009 regs:

Lake Sturgeon April 24–May 7 and July 1–Sept. 30
1 per license year. (Fish must be 45-50″, inclusive, or over 75″.) Immediately upon reducing a fish to possession, you must validate and attach your sturgeon tag. Harvested sturgeon must be registered within 48 hours. See page 49 for more details.

May 8–May 15 and Oct. 1, 2009–April 23, 2010
catch-and-release only. (No tag needed.)

I have never heard of anyone keeping a sturgeon??? How the heck would you fillet a dinosaur?

I GUESS THEY STEAK THEM LIKE SALMON AND SMOKE EM??? NEVER TRIED IT. INQUIRING FOR A CO WORKER

Here is an interesting site that shows how to clean a sturgeon.

Thanks for sharing that Boris.

I’m thinking McDonalds McFish is cleaner and faster.

That looks like alot of work! Good looking meat though… Good luck to all the sturgeon chasers. Fished from Birchdale all the way to Lighthouse gap last weekend for eyes and seen several sturgies caught.

I’ve had Sturgeon twice. Never again!! I’m sure it’s like any other fish, if not taken care of properly, it can have a bad taste. All I know is it was like eating a fishy bullhead.
