	Sauger Fishing...
		A smaller cousin of the walleye, sauger were once found in great abundance in many major waterways and several smaller rivers and streams in Kentucky.
		The drop in quality sauger fishing was a slow process during this low rainfall period, but nevertheless was quite noticeable by the time the trend broke late in the decade.
		Just as with the larger rivers, the sauger's upstream migration in late winter and early spring is halted by a series of man-made structures, and these are the best areas to find groups of fish, often well before and during the February spawning period.

	Sauger in Alabama
		The sauger can be distinguished from the walleye, Stizostedion vitreum, by its fewer (17 to 20) soft dorsal rays (19 to 22 for the walleye), by lacking a pigment concentration at the spiny dorsal fin base, and by having the lower lobe of the caudal fin mottled, compared to a white tip for the walleye.
		The sauger is found in quiet backwaters over sand, mud, or bedrock substrates, usually at tributary mouths and in deeper tailwaters over rock and rubble substrate downstream of dams.
		Small sauger feed on microcrustaceans and aquatic insect larvae, while large adults feed almost exclusively on fish, including young walleye and saugers, white bass, crappies, yellow perch, and, in northern states, trout-perch and burbots.

		The objective of this project is to develop a conservation agreement for sauger in Montana that will outline data gaps and data needs for sauger; identify threats and limiting factors to sauger; summarize existing sauger survey, monitoring, and conservation data; and compile these data into a cooperative conservation agreement for sauger.
