As we were leaving the A1 diner the other day we noticed a large group of people gathered on the bridge spanning the river next door.

It only took a moment of looking down to realize what they were all there to watch.

The sturgeon were spawning.

If you’ve never seen a sturgeon take my word for it, they’re a big strong fish.

As I was taking this video some young men were on the far bank fishing. Since the sturgeon are a protected species this is highly illegal and a woman on the bridge starts screaming at them to leave at the end of this clip. Keep an eye on the water, one of the sturgeon jumped near the end.

It was an interesting way to end the afternoon.
