No Fish For You! As The Black Lake Sturgeon Season Is Canceled

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is announcing the cancellation of the 2024 Black Lake sturgeon season, which was scheduled to start the past Saturday.

A harvest limit is set for each Black Lake sturgeon season, and with the lack of ice on Black Lake, there is concern about excessive harvest with the inability to effectively track it with limited DNR personnel on the ice.

This is the first time the Black Lake sturgeon season has been canceled, and officials say it is too soon to tell if the cancellation will influence the harvest limit next year.
