The weather was great and we were expecting a very busy day, but traffic at the North Star Caviar cleaning station slowed down by midday. Despite lower than expected numbers, over half the fish turned in were good sized females. There are still fish to be caught! See you next week.

We are back to cooler weather. If you haven't caught your river monster yet, take tomorrow off! 5/15 is the last harvest day of the year, as per ND Game & Fish.

Date:	5/15/2024	Caught Today:	21	Caught to Date:	775
What a beautiful day to wrap up the season. Some road construction at the entrance to the Confluence Center may have slowed things down a bit at the North Star Station, but we still processed some fish. It has been a very female heavy year. Thank you everyone, for your support of the North Star Caviar program!
