Amato Publications http://www.amatobooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv? has a good book called "Great White Sturgeon Angling."

Springtime above the Fishery is very heavy water and most of the fish are oversize. I'd recommend going with someone who knows this water at least once. People sink boats up there. Caution aside, it's a kick! Huge fish in heavy water.

Save your smelt for next year. Whatever is getting chopped up in the turbines is the best bait. Soon, that will be Shad.

Good luck!
