The first time Ben Barrus tried sturgeon fishing through the ice a few winters ago on the St. Croix River, he caught one within 10 minutes.

It wasn’t big as lake sturgeon go – maybe 30 inches or so, Barrus recalls – but he thought he had things figured out.

Little did he know. …
 

“I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is easy – this is the coolest thing ever,’ ” said Barrus, 27, who was living in St. Paul at the time. “And I went like 10 times that whole winter and never caught a fish. I mean, I was sleeping out on the ice, trying to make it happen.

“Couldn’t do it.”
