Old man fishing - Possible sturgeon?
Hey, has anyone had any luck fishing the middle/lower section of the Old man? Its open all year... also was wondering if anyone has ever had any luck fishing for sturgeon? I've heard a lot of stories, but I have fished the old man for years and years and Ive never seen one. If I don't hook up soon around home, Ill have to make the drive to the forks (upon opening). Anyone have any bait suggestions?

Yeah, I did actually right after I posted that and realized I was a fool. No worries though, I found some spots today on the fly rod and caught some nice whitefish.

dont have to be a fool to misread the regs, lots of people do.  I hear minnows are the ticket for sturgeon , hoping to get my first this year too.

All licences for sturgen are suspended in Alberta this year non will be issued. Check the regs again, You will have to go to BC. I think if your are purposly fishing for them that could be concidered poaching, not sure but maybe?

Try talking to BBJ about fishin for those ones. I consider him an experiment on those fish in the NSR.
