Have you heard of a Lake Sturgeon before? Did you know they are the LARGEST fish species that call the Great Lakes home reaching up to 7.5' in length, up to 250lbs and can live to be nearly 150 years old? No? Then you DO NOT want to miss this event!

Lake Sturgeon have been roaming the waters of the Great Lakes all the way back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth! They are an iconic species within the Great Lakes and, with the help of several natural resource organizations and community scientists, have managed to come back from the brink of extinction for generation after generation to appreciate!

During this event, participants will head out on the St. Clair River under the expert eye and guidance of an amazing local St. Clair River Lake Sturgeon Guide for an unforgettable chartered fishing experience to see these historic fish up close and personal! Participants will learn the different methods, preferred gear set-ups, and top secret "Lake Sturgeon hot spots" along the St. Clair River while learning about the conservation efforts in place to protect this species.

The Charter Captain will provide all necessary safety gear, fishing gear, and instruction to make your participation in this event a success!
