STURGEON
Ever caught a dinosaur? Well here is your chance. The Lake of the
Woods Area that borders the northern side of the Upper Red Lake
Area offers an opportunity like no other. You will get an opportunity
to see just how much battle a fresh water fish can produce. Sturgeons
possess the power, size and strength to test any angler’s ability and
the ability of the gear in hand. We are talking about a fish that can
snap rods, straighten hooks and has even pulled boats around.
Many anglers seldom get the chance to target such a magnificent fish
due to the habits and feeding methods of the Sturgeon. With the exception of a limited period of time in the spring these 100 year old fish make the same migration they have been making for centuries. “Outdoors with Jonny P” will target these power houses during the end of April and early May. All gear and bait is supplied for your dinosaur hunt. “Outdoors with Jonny P” will also print one 8'x10' glossy photo of each one of your
Sturgeon catches and ship them to you after your trip.
Catch Photo Release and proper handling of these prehistoric fish is
not only highly encouraged it is requested by Jonny P.
