Am I nuts??

[Feydakin]

Ok, I have this fishing trip to Short Lake in Canada (north of Mojikit / Armstrong Station) in June.. We are definitely walleye fishing, and at least one other guy is up for spending a day going after northerns.. But now I find out that the deeper holes in Short Lake and a few other spots up there have sturgeon in them..

I am seriously considering going for a triple up there and going for the sturgeon as well.. But now I have absolutely no clue where to even begin to learn about sturgeon fishing.. I've been looking around the net for ideas and the bulk of those involve "hire a guide".. I did email the outfitter we will be using, but haven't heard back from them yet..

So, am I nuts for considering giving up a day of walleye fishing just hoping to hook a sturgeon??

Go to the Idaho board and do a sturgeon search. I have posted there as well as Kentofnsl and some others. Some good reads and info for ya. I would definately try for a sturgeon depending on the size. I would give up eyes for a 5'er.[] Can you keep a fish up there? They are some of the best tasting fish i have ever had.
