My brother came down from Vernon this weekend for a visit, so I decided we'd head out for some sturgeon.
We launched at Fort Langley at about 8am and headed up river a bit. After fishing one spot for a couple of hours with no luck, we moved up river a bit more.
If nothing else, it was an awesome day to be on the water.
About noon, I see a little tickle on the rod tip, so I picked it up out of the holder, gave a big tug and thankfully, something tugged back - and hard! FISH ON.
It took about 15 minutes or so to get him to the surface and then into the boat. My brother had never seen a sturgeon close up, so we took a few shots and released him back in. We figure he was about 5', give or take.
Over the next hour and a half, we hooked up another two, but lost them both within a couple of minutes.
Good time had by all, but sadly, no spectacular leaps out of the water to punctuate a great day.
