Happy Earth Day! Tonight hopefully we will be able to go to New London to the Wolf River and watch the sturgeon spawning. Jeff called the Mosquito Hill nature Preserve, and yes, its time to see the sturgeon! When they spawn in spring, the water temps have to be in the 50s, then they make their way to the shallow rock filled areas to lay eggs.Sturgeon are incredible, a female must be a minimum of 45 years old to be able to produce eggs. They get to be huge, its not uncommon for adult sturgeon to be 5 to 6 feet long. All along the river, people line up to see these prehistoric looking creatures and marvel at their size. 24 hours a day volunteers stand guard to make sure they are not harmed as they are extremely vulnerable at this time. We went last year and 100s of people were observing. Its even reported in area newspapers and on tv. I am planning on bringing my camera to try to take some pics. Happy Earth Day!
