Title: Sturgeon
Post by: Florida_Native on May 01, 2015, 10:36:21 PM: I'm interested in doing some white sturgeon fishing. Does anyone know if there are any in the Spokane area.

Maybe lake Roosevelt?

Lake Pateros, there are plenty in there as well. According to the regs, you can target them but it is catch and release only. There are plenty of walleye, and some cats in there. Good bass fishing in the right places. Just have to get out there and figure it out.

Have fun.
