Im new to sturgeon fishing, but I already know a lot of holes they hang out in, in my area anyways. I know when they migrate up this way also. Knowing they are there doesnt make them any easier to catch. I did catch some very young fish this summer, so they are definitely reproducing in the Bow/SSR. I dont know how long it takes one to grow to a foot or so long, but Ive caught a couple that size and seen pictures of other ones as well. or maybe according to the researchers thinking, its just the same fish and he likes to travel a lot
