Sturgeon through the ice

[Warmbreeze]

I know the NSR and SSR are open during the winter. Does anyone target Sturgeon through the ice? You would have to have a good piece of ice to make it safe. Even if you found such ice, would they be present or further downstream in Saskatchewan? Maybe in the river portion of Tobin you could try for them. Just curious if people do this or if it is possible, not really wanting to try myself.

Sounds like a death wish to me. Wait another 2 months and I'm sure you'll have more fun.

Trust me man, Im addicted too sturgeon fishing and should probably seek help for it, but even I would not chance it lol ......

I remember about 5 years ago i was driving on the whitemud where it Crosses the NSR , And there was a tent out there near shore ........ I was pretty shocked , maybe next year I will get the balls to try , or make one of my friends try for me lol lol

I don't fish for sturgeon in Alberta. I was just curious if people did. Wouldn't do it.
