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?


Sturgeon, from what I know of them from California, are anadronymous,
just like salmon and stealhead. If you snag a one of those 100 pound
fish that would surely affect your flyfishing. They dont take flies as
they first sense the food before eating. I would assume they would try
to travel to the ocean, will dams prevent them from making it to the
ocean?
