did not have to work on monday so after getting out of bed at the crack of dawn ok not really maybe 9:30 i wandered over to auger falls and decided to do some sturgeon fishing. to make a long story short i hooked up 8 times and landed four fish. A 3ish footer a 5ft two incher a 5 foot 5 incher and a 6 foot five inch fish. I also hooked up with one fish that had to have been either huge or tail hooked. I have pulled on 9ft+ sturgeon and this fish felt like at least that. it spooled me i was dumbfounded i have never not been able to turn a fish but there was no stopping this thing it just took off. so if anyone fishes down there and catches a fish with 200ishyards of power pro attached to it you'll know where that came from. I'll attach photos soon

Wow! sounds like you had an awesome trip.I'm assuming you crossed on the old bridge and hiked down. Heard they are going to release more water in the river again so that might screw up the fishing again.

So I took my wife and two kids on the trail from the water treatment plant on our bikes hoping to reach auger falls. We made it to the end of road where there is a large pool below the power sub staion is that where auger falls is?
We did not do any fishing my 3 year old and 14 month old would have had a rough climb down to the water.
I have been out sturgen fishing like 4 times and have never caught one. Any help you could give me would be great.

For some reason my phone wont let me send my pictures to my email so i cant upload the pictures, ill have to try again later. And to get to augar falls its sort of hard to describe without being in person. Walk the road till you see the water get smooth and the river get really wide.It almost looks like a lake with rapids below it and above it.
And Jon any luck at hagerman? i couldnt make it. With this weather finally shaping up were gonna have to go soon.

Jon, you're killing me. Oh well, I have a three-day trip, to my usual place, planned soon to go after them. Weather forecast looks warm (expected) but hopefully no wind. Can't wait.
