Rieb, time to sign up with Almo!! She could use you 

What is Almo? 

The point estimate is 23M. That would be the ballpark I would expect.

Brandooner - at 24, you were a kid not that long ago. Just because you haven't seen one or caught one doesn't mean there isn't some. Have you ever caught one or seen one of the monster 30#+ catfish that live there?

One morning a few years back, I saw a large long fish that passed under my pontoon boat that creeped me out so much the immediately my feet came out of the water and I oared well away from that spot. I could see it was a fish but couldn't identify it but I literally had bad dreams of this dang thing. I couldn't take it anymore and that was the deciding factor that made me sell my fishcat and stick to the jon boats.

Now I think it could have been a sturgeon that someone plunked into the lake - but maybe it wasn't. Either way, I don't put my feet into that lake anymore.

you should check out searun fly and tackle. their sturgeon guide walter is probably the most experienced guide outthere. he knows every hole between mission and  hope. he is  a  real guys guy. no bullsheit. we all had a blast. good luck.

lets cross are fingers, especially after the last few years of returns.

"The forecast ranges from a low of 7.3 million to a high of 72.5 million."

hopefully its closer to the high point than the low point.

Hey do yourself a favour and go with the modified V lowe from cascade marine L1448M.  Costs about 2600 and you can get a Karavan trailer for 1000 that is galvanized.  Way better boat than the prince craft comes with a floor and trust me better than a deep V.  I used it for all purpose on the fraser/harrison to the interior for trout.  Handle anything in that little boat. 

Without exaggeration, what I saw was a solid 4-4.5' long and relatively slow moving - that's why I think it was a sturgeon now.

I couldn't think anything but to post this right after reading this article.  I know.....  I know its only march but it sure looks promising. Can you imagine 72 million Sockeye in the fraser river.  What ever the number be , but it sure does excite me 

Here is thr article:  http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/anticipated-salmon-run-could-overwhelm-fraser-river-this-summer-experts-say/article17336330/

I'll cheer the Leafs only if you give me your entire supply of Drennans Deal ?
