Every year, thousands flock to Lake Winnebago and Upriver Lakes to participate in the sturgeon spearing tradition.
With the 2021 sturgeon spearing season fast approaching, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds both seasoned pros and first-timers that there are some important changes to this year’s registration process.
The 2021 season on the Winnebago system begins Feb. 13 and runs a maximum of 16 days or until any pre-determined harvest caps are met.
For the upcoming sturgeon spearing season, the DNR is implementing a contactless registration process at registration stations.
