Kerry Camargo's encounter with a jumping sturgeon highlights an unusual surge in the fish's population this summer, causing unexpected incidents on the Merrimack River.
Ted Marshall notes, 'It's been a quantum difference this year . . . Now every time I go out there, I'm seeing numerous sturgeon jump on a four-hour trip.'
Finn Hawley describes his surprise at the sudden increase in sturgeon activity; he had previously seen only a couple, now he sees them frequently while fishing.
The resurgence of sturgeon in the Great Marsh is notable, as they have long inhabited the Merrimack River, yet their visibility this summer is unprecedented.
