Kelly fishes the Snohomish River and it's myriad of sloughs, mainly Ebey. Right now is the time to go, they have been catching them consistently for a couple of weeks now.

I read an interesting article on sturgeon recently. Apparently (correct me if I'm wrong Salmo g./Todd) the only rivers they have proof of them successfully spawning in are the Sacramento, Columbia, and Fraser. There are so many in the Columbia at one time they are forced to other rivers, like the Snohomish and Stilly, to feed. The sturgeon like these rivers because of the large amounts of rotting salmon carcasses parading downriver. They may stay for a year, then head to Canada for a while. They have tagged fish and found they may visit a host of rivers throughout their long lifetime. The monster sturgeon that's lived in Ebey Slough hole for 20 years is probably many different fish.

My friend caught 5 fish in the Sky this week, all between 10 and 14 pounds. I saw 3 of them, all hens. Me, well.......
