We're fishing Wolf Creek Dam, right below Lake Cumberland, for whatever will bite, but we've got sturgeon on our mind!
On this day we were fishing alongside fisheries biologist and ichthyologist, throwing swimbaits and jerkbaits for trout and skipjack, but also soaking some nightcrawlers on the bottom since we knew that lake sturgeon were in the area.
Lake Sturgeon must be immediately released if caught, there is no harvest of this species in the state of Kentucky. For more information on lake sturgeon visit: fw.ky.gov/Fish/pages/lake-stu...
If you catch a lake sturgeon you should take good photos of each side of the fish, and then email or call Matt Thomas at:
