Recently in Idaho Falls Id, the fish and game just planted a bunch of
white sturgeon. The question is do these fish travel far and should I
expect to see them moving up the Henrys fork and up into the Heise
area on the south fork? Also what will the affect be on fly fishing?

I'm just curious

Good questions. My understanding, from the news reports, is that they are
planting them in an area which was not part of their native habitat - I
wonder if we'll ever learn!!


The largest white sturgeon ever caught was from the Snake river. They do
not affect the trout population from what I see. The Pit River in
California may still have sturgeon. And the Kootanei river has them from
Montana to Kootanai lake. All good trout areas.
