Title: Up river sturgeon
Post by: Ghost Hunter on April 08, 2018, 02:11:52 PM: Is this going to be the new sturgeon fishery? I like the size slot. Will put this on my spring/summer to do list. Anybody else?

I did hear reports of a few guys doing well, and yes nice big keepers for the lucky ones. I wonder how it will be this time around.
