If I remember correctly this is where Kent did his ice fishing for sturgeon.

That looks like a whole lot of fun. Better than my catching of 5" perch.
Snake River was reported at 42* two weeks ago at CJ Strike. I don't think that the Lake Sturgeon get as big as the White Sturgeon, so those are good size fish.

Here is a link to a YouTube video about ice fishing for Sturgeon in Idaho. I'm pretty sure this is the same place Kent went:

Yep that would be fun, even though their sturgeon are much smaller than the ones we typically catch in Idaho. And yes, the two other videos are the place that I caught them through the ice on the private pond in Parma, ID. It was a fun experience, and not very expensive, but likely won't do it again. Farm raised sturgeon have deformed fins, because of too much inbreeding.
