Surprise Shovelnose - FishNews - 05-02-2008
This past fall FWP biologists sampling fish on the Tiber Reservoir found a very uncommon fish for that water in the gill net-a shovelnose sturgeon.<br>
<br>Because there has never been any evidence of the shovelnose reproducing in the Marias River above Tiber, and only about a dozen adult sturgeon have been found in Tiber since netting began in 1973, this fish is likely a relic of the Marias River before it was impounded 51 years ago.
