Ha ha yeah, good people for.sure, hard to take a catch and release fishery too seriously...I was sad they didnt get a pic of the biggest one we caught because I was too.rough grabbing the leader...

I think the best time to catch sturgeon is when you have time to go..we ve caught them through out the year..seem to have good luck in freshet tucking away on the side out of the main current..fun to watch picnic tables and boats float by lol

Keep.in mind anchoring in river and ocean is serious and people die every year, be safe!
