Merci Quebec!
In May, Bureau of Fisheries staff traveled to Lake St. Pierre in Quebec in search of sauger for potential use in the Lake Champlain sauger restoration program. With help from the Quebec Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks and local guide Alec Delage, 60 sauger were collected. The fish were sent to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Fish Health Center in Lamar, Pennsylvania to check for the occurrence of diseases. Fin clips were also taken to assess the genetic suitability of this population for the Lake Champlain restoration effort. The Bureau will use all of this information to develop the most appropriate restoration plan. See the Sauger Conservation Management Plan for more information.

Re: Thank you Quebec!
Hum... some will trow rocks to me because the majority claim that there is no difference between sauger & walleye but for me there is a huge difference. Let's say it's a question of personnal taste.Reelax wrote:Are they as good to eat as walleyes???
Thanks for the post Andre
They are not has big also; a sauger of 3-4 lbs is a very big saugeye.
