Thousands of sturgeon spearing shanties dot Lake Winnebago this weekend for the opening of the sturgeon spearing season. DNR senior fisheries biologist Ryan Koenigs says the sturgeon population in Lake Winnebago is healthy. “There’s definately a lot of fish out there. We’ve got roughly 19,000 adult females and 24,000 adult males,” Koenigs told WFDL news.
