photo by Heather Rasmussen Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been productive for the early fishermen in the area. Mike Larson, above, fights with a 58 inch sturgeon this week. He was successful in his efforts and is pictured with his prize below. There are two sturgeon seasons on Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River, a catch and release season and a harvest season in which you can keep one fish per calendar year. The harvest season runs from April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – Sept. 30. The catch and release season runs May 8th – May 15th and Oct. 1 – April 23rd.
