More Details:
During the Huron Lady Sturgeon Cruise, guests will be able to see lake sturgeon in the St. Clair River via a live video feed from professional diver Greg Lashbrook underneath the Huron Lady. Flat screen televisions on deck will allow all guests a personal view of the live action from the bottom of the river.

The Blue Water Sturgeon Festival is a partnership between natural resource agencies, government, industry, scientists, and anglers in order to highlight the ecosystem approach to managing native fish and wildlife populations in the St. Clair River and to increase interest in restoring the lake sturgeon to higher levels of abundance.
