 Following. I sure hope they open at least some stretches of it again. We got spoiled there for a little while and now I don’t know what I’m gonna do if they don’t.

I hear ya, my wife and I had our first summer in 33 years w/o a kid at home so we camped and sturgeon fished. My wife tied into her first one last year. We ended up catching 113 of them. From 8ft down to 15". We had a blast.

I am not familiar with the Kettle Falls fishery but people have been bank fishing sturgeon in the lower river for ages. I don't see why it couldn't apply up there. Just a matter of identifying spots to target.

I will guess that with the amount of folks not working this year could be a real festival.  :chuckle:

That looks like a kick!
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
