Lake sturgeon migrate to their spawning habitat mid-May through June. They spawn in riffles, shallow sections of rivers with fast, tumbling water. The river current washes the gravel stream bottom free of silt and provides oxygen for the eggs. In order to naturally reproduce, sturgeon need a way to reach these quality spawning areas. In 1999, the Minnesota DNR began reconnecting rivers by removing dams and replacing them with natural “rock arch rapids.” Dam modifications create and provide acces

You are watching the first verified lake sturgeon spawning event in the Red River Basin in over 100 years!

Check out how they've grown 👇 Each year, our fisheries biologists use specialized large-mesh gill nets to capture lake sturgeon and evaluate the success of the reintroduction program.

Millions of tiny walleye fry spend their first weeks of life at the Waterville hatchery, amid the white noise of pumps and running water. For many Minnesota lakes, there wouldn't be walleyes to catch if it wasn’t for the DNR walleye spawning and stocking program. A big thank you goes out to the many DNR fisheries crews across the state at hatchery facilities for recently completing this very important work. Take a look at where it begins for many southern Minnesota walleye fisheries! mndnr.gov/a
