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.

I seriously doubt the Pit RIver has Sturgeon, it very possibly used to
have sturgeon since it empties into Lake Shasta, and before Lake shasta
would have emptied into the Sacramento river, and the Sacramento River
has a ton of sturgeon. The lower sac is also one of the best trout
fisheries in the US, given all the food from the anadronymous fish
(salmon, shad, sturgeon, steelhead, striper) as well as the shasta dam
having a special device that release cold water from the bottom of lake
shasta so the river is constantly cool even tho Redding gets up to 115
degrees.
