American Falls Below Dam Fishing

[Kent]

Craig, you would be disappointed with the quality of the sturgeon below American Falls dam. I only made one trip up there and fished it from the shore. The sturgeon reminded me of brood trout (except much larger of course) planters from the fish hatcheries. Many of their fins were worn off. I also learned that the sturgeon there prefer fresh fish for bait. I tried the bait that we use at CJ Strike and they weren't very interested. One guy was slamming them on freshly caught white fish. Also be prepared to donate lots of lead to the rocks. Great place to use your railroad spikes.
