Sturgeon release scheduled for May 4

The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho invites the community to participate in releasing of hatchery-reared juvenile white sturgeon into the Kootenai River. Participants will have the opportunity to release sturgeon and learn more about the Kootenai Tribe’s fish programs.

The release will be held on Friday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at the public Search and Rescue Boat Ramp (located by the Boundary County Waterways Building) 1 mile west on Riverside Street. We remind those attending to please use the designated parking areas as this is a public boat launch.
