Huge buoys in the river below strike - fishin4days - 05-04-2011
was fishing the river below strike yesterday and saw two huge bouys bobbing in the river unattended. Does anyone know anything about that? My thought was maybe they are marking F&G set lines....? anyone know?

We once saw the F&G setting buoys on the stretch below the King Hill Bridge. I was sure they were set lines, but I know some times they take water quality and acoustic data. Don't ask me what they wand acoustic data for... whales i guess.

Gibbons and I saw them last time we were out. I think it'd be funny to put a note on them and say, "Dear sportsman, it is illegal in the state of Idaho to use set lines." I'm pretty sure its F&G, the boat that we saw pulling them up had a big ol' boom on them in case they had a fish on it.

Those are Idaho Power sturgeon study set lines. They have been sampling fish all up and down the Snake for several ears now. Those guys are a font of information, but please give them room to work, and stay away from the buoys while boating.
