Petersons Help DNA Track Yellow Lake Sturgeon
The Peterson family on Yellow Lake in Burnett County aided DNA researchers by tagging and releasing sturgeon since 1979, recording growth, tagging over 24 inches, and assisting in population estimates. Lead DNR manager Stan Johannes credits their effort for most tagging, enabling a population study while advocating sustainable harvest rules and river dam impacts.

Petersons Catch Sturgeon on Yellow Lake in Seasonal Test
The Petersons, long-time sturgeon specialists, catch about 35 fish annually during the September to October hook and line season. They fish from a well-equipped pontoon boat, rarely keeping more than one trophy size fish, using nightcrawlers on bottom with medium tackle and 10 to 15-pound line while relying on patient, shared patience on the water.
