Big Sturgeon Brought Out Of Shallow Squaw Creek
Copper City correspondent reports Fred Brooks and his family captured a eight foot long sturgeon weighing about 200 pounds from Squaw Creek a mile and a half above Copper City. The fish, seen floundering in a foot to a foot and a half of water, was dragged out alive after failed attempts to shoot it and to drive it away with rocks. It likely rode the high water into Squaw Creek and could not return to its habitat as waters fell.
