Saginaw angler reels in surprise sturgeon

Lake sturgeon have been the focus of a lot of conservation effort across the Great Lakes, so the news of two separate ice fishermen in Saginaw catching them this winter has interesting implications.

 

Excerpt: While ice fishing for walleye in the Saginaw River earlier this month, Dave Tanney didn’t expect to pull a 61-inch prehistoric-looking fish from the depths of the river.

 

But he did. Tanney of Belding is the second angler this winter to report catching a live sturgeon on the Saginaw River or Bay.
