Hi Marko…Anglers fishing for sturgeon use chunks of dead-bait on the bottom. In the Fraser River, BC they can use pieces of fish, or eel. If you are in Ontario you have to check the Ontario Fishing Regulations before you try and fish for sturgeon. They are protected in our province and there are very few areas where you can angle for them on a catch release basis only….God bless you, Italo

Hi Bushi…Sturgeon populations in Ontario and especially in the Great Lakes region have declined significantly over the years to the point that you cannot target or keep sturgeon in many areas.  Even though you can catch sturgeon in the Niagara River, there is no fishing season for them.  The Detroit & Sinclair  Rivers have a fishing season for sturgeon, but you cannot keep any.   I would encourage you to check with the Ontario MNR fishing regulations before you decide where to fish by going to, http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsFish/Publication/STEL02_163615.html .  I don’t know of any regions in Ontario  where you can still fish for sturgeon where they have a catch limit.  I do know that the tributaries that flow north to James Bay (Region 8), in Ontario do have good populations of sturgeon, but again they have an open season, but you are not allowed to retain any.  These would include the rivers around Kapuskasing, ON (Groundhog, Matagami, Kapuskasing, etc.). To find out specific fishing spots in that region for sturgeon, I would suggest you contact Dave Barbour, Biologist at the Kapuskasing MNR District Office (705) 335-6191 .  One of the best times to fish for sturgeon in Ontario is right after the season opens for them in the spring/summer…God bless you, Italo

Dear Italo Thank you very much for your prompt response. I was researching and found that Montreal has it. Do you know of any spots you could suggest Somewhere anywhere where we can keep retain the sturgeon. Many thanks.

Good day Italo, this is Marc from the Timmins sportsman show, for sturgeon, travel west on hwy 101 to mallette road or Montcalm road to some, travel north on this road for 57 kms,the road will turn left and right but continue straight down a small bush road for aprox. 2kms till you reach an old trappers cabin, there is a steep hill here, if the road is good and dry you can bring a truck down but if wet, 4 wheelers are the only way. When you come to town for the shoot on horwood lake, give me a call and i\’ll bring you a map. Also, our senior conservation officer is willing to bring you for sturgeon, it seems he was in school with you at Sir Sanford Fleming but he was in the forestry program, his name is Jim Abbbott, i can introduce you if you\’d like. Anyway, my cell number is 705-363-8319 and my email is listed here if you need any info. It was great meeting you and hopefully we\’ll chat again some time. Thanks Marc

Hi Marc…It was a pleasure meeting you at the Timmins Sportsman Show and thank you very much for the directions. I have Luke Lizotte\’s card (Conservation Officer Timmins District), and if we do decide to try for sturgeon, I will also follow up with Jim Abbott. Hope you have a great season….God bless you, Italo
