The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR has announced that the inland hook and line season for lake sturgeon will take place Sept. 4 – Sept. 30 on certain waters.
To harvest a sturgeon, anglers must have a valid fishing license and purchase either an inland or boundary water sturgeon harvest tag.
Licenses and tags can be purchased through Go Wild, the DNR’s online license portal, or at one of our licensed sales locations. All licenses and regulations apply.
If an angler catches a lake sturgeon that they wish to harvest, they must immediately validate their tag.
Any harvested sturgeon must be registered at a designated registration station no later than 6 p.m. the day after they caught the fish.
