To elaborate a little more on the Mono! Ive never caught a Sturgy shorter than 7 feet! I would use at least 80 lb tuff line or eq. Theses fish are true MONSTERS!!! They will tear you up and spit you out if your under geared. I personally think your 320's are ok but you'll probably need new drags after the trip. Reel of choice seems to be 340's, 345's and TLD's in reg and two speed. Rods have to be stand up style tuna sticks. I have laid back on the engine cover with feet on gunnels and pulled as hard as I possibly could with both thumbs locked on the spool and Im 6-3 300lbs and I couldent hold it or break the line. This is the kind of pressure required to tire out these fish in a humane way and not put too much stress on them. They are spawning! Small fish seems to be 6.5 to 7 feet at least 150lbs. But weve caught many in the 10 foot 400 lb range. I personally think you wont catch a fish under 7 feet! Depending on the run. Last year was a good big fish year...So you must be ready for anything. Our rule of thumb...if you dont see it within 1 hour break it cause you will probably never see it.

B-run, give me a date and Ill let ya know. I head to Canada to fish alot in the Summer so let me know and Ill se how my schedule is.

Also we use 300 feet of anchor line. Boats have been sucked under up by the dam usaully because the anchor rode is too short.
