Fish Watching

Spring is here, and that means it's time to get out and watch the fish spawn. Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources has a page on fish watching for ten kinds of fish. Of particular note is the information on sturgeon, the amazing ancient giant that dwells in the Lake Winnebago system. Lake Sturgeon can be watched as they spawn in mid April to early May. A good place to see this near Appleton is in the Wolf River at the Highway X crossing between New London and Northport. These huge, ancient fish aren't especially tasty, I'm told, but are incredible to see.
