I stand corrected. I looked over the information again on the F&G website about fishing for sturgeon. It says that barbless hooks and a sliding sinker rig are required. It then goes on to strongly push the circle hook option. But it does not require them. I can't remember for sure but I think that that requiring circle hooks was an option that was originally considered a year or so ago. Apparently they don't currently require them. Anyway, here is the link to the F&G page specifically referring to sturgeon fishing and gear. Sorry for confusing the issue [blush]
