During a sturgeon fishing trip in late September, I saw fish & game doing a netting survey near Cove Arm Lake on the Snake River. They were placing nets Sept. 28 &29 in the river. Does anyone have information of what they found or were hoping to gather information on?
BTY during my 5 days the 3 of us in my boat caught 12 sturgeon between 3'9" to 7'7". One break off and one broken rod. My sturgeon newbie son-in-law caught the first fish which was also the 7'7" one. Like shooting a big buck on your first hunt, it will be hard to improve upon.
Ran into Stan the Man, whom I had met in June when I towed his boat back to the ramp after his engine failed. He had a friend with him that had never seen a sturgeon. As it happened, we caught a 6'1" while chatting, giving his friend to see start to finish how we landed, photo'd, and measured the fish.
