Lundman,
I'd bet the Snake will be raging clear into June this year. I wouldn't take my boat (22' Alumaweld sled with a 200 outboard jet) out down there. If you do, I'd take someone that has run that section of river a bunch.
If I was to anchor in that section, I'd have a very sharp knife handy near the bow cleat, and (please NEVER DO THIS in moving water...) never anchor both the bow and stern. I've seen a couple of boats go down because the front anchor let loose and the back stuck.
All that being said, I suggest you look at water a bit downstream for gators from the boat, or fish the section below Am. Falls from the bank.
The sturgeon fishing is picking up down here already. We have been getting a couple fish a trip. It isn't fast and furious by any means, but on the right day you can hook up a few times.
