First boat just did not have the power, engine problems or the experience.

Once the first guy showed the other boats how not to make it upstream, it was pretty much clear sailing for the rest of them.


A man is suing Smart Water for it not making him smart. I'm seriously thinking of suing Thin Mints.

The Indians use big freighter canoes on the rivers here to go up and down big rapids.Years ago most of the mid sized freighters had 40 outboards now they use more powerful outboards.
They know all the channells on all the rapids on the rivers they run and can easily pick their way up or down the rivers in most water conditions.
Sturgeon love rapids.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I've been on the water all my life, in all kinds of boats and all kinds of conditions, but that's just nuts!,lol

I maybe wrong, probably am, but those boats look to me to be too bow heavy for the heavy slogging...

Laughed at being scary, my stepson is a coast guard and showed me videos of them training by actually rolling 30 plus foot boats in surf of the coast of Oregon.

Driving right up the middle of the big rollers,,,,,,when there’s a easy/calm route up the inside is extremely dangerous and extremely stupid



I wouldn’t fish with those guys

Id love to know what the river bed looks like under that turbulence, and how deep it is through that stretch...

Geez that looks like a lot of fun and sturgeon has always been on my bucket list. When is the best time of year to go?


I have nothing clever to put here.

160user the best sturgeon fishing is during the salmon run, especially when they are throwing all the guts in the water
Sept-Oct in BC rivers

Nope, it needs to be in HC. I fished there in 92 or 93 in Brownlee and a couple of others and want to go back to that area.

I would not fish hells canyon. It is fun but it is bank fishing. Running up and down the banks with a monster on.
Awesome for big spring and steelhead.

I would fish the Bordman pool in the summer for the most enjoyable Big Fish. You will be tired.
Keepers are in the dalls pools in Jan

Toughest sturgeon are below Bonaville dam. True sponners. Then you fight the river current….

Say hi to Herman,,,,,,he\ she is a monster and about killed us in a flooded wing dam incident.

Lots of wind!

My vote is the Boardman OR pool.

Everyone that runs that river,,,,,knows what they are doing.
Flow/ water levels determine were they have to enter slick water. To close to the edge can put you on the rocks…..
Too fat in the slick water ,,,,,you can not make it.

Now think about adding 6 over weight Americans,,,,,,, ( asians are the best,,,,except for tipping,,,,,,small and light)
