Correction to White Sturgeon Fishing at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

Date: June 8, 2017
Contact: Denise Bausch, 509-754-7830

We apologize for the inaccurate information in our previous press release concerning sturgeon fishing at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Due to size restrictions on allowable sturgeon, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) requires anglers to bring retained sturgeon to shore whole.  Both WDFW and the National Park Service encourage anglers to clean sturgeon at home.
