Eddie:
Well, forgive me if I'm off my rocker or misplaced my marbles. I'm having visions of a sturgeon on a fly. Anchored up, casting a threaded mud shrimp on a heavy weighted sinking taper and just sitting and sitting and...oooo...what's that? Boink set and zzzzzzzzzzzzz...foevah'... No point, just trying to consider the winter months and familiar yet new ideas that are prolly not new...also a shrimp fly doused to the max in shrimp oil or hanging out in the shrimp nasty bag for absorption... :smt006
Sailfish:
Catching big Sturgeon on fly rod sounds like great challenge and fun.
Sea-bree:
Fly rod sturgeon would make you a hero indeed!
I’ve got another idea to add to the brainstorm. I got the idea in Monterrey when I was catching 2-4 large mackerel at a time on the sabiki. They were full of fight and a lot of fun to catch. I started thinking about how similar they are in many respects to Kokanee (small gamefish, caught using artificial, heck they even show up on the FF in a similar fashion…) why not bring an ultra lite rod and downrigger and spend the day getting them on Kokanee gear?
Eddie:
I hear ya’ to da max! Let’s tie good knots and enjoy the bendo to maximum fun/ minimum gear experiments. Pulling drag on a well filled 2000 reel. Worst case, skunk day, best case, full on chaos with full hatch or pic depending on the species. :smt006
Plug-n-Jug:
You wouldn't necessarily even need a down rigger. Just use a sliding sinker rig that so many of us use for Kokes. Kevin.
