Great White Sturgeon

Fish for the mighty Sturgeon which reaches lengths in the Snake of 10 feet or more and after an hour of reeling you start to wonder who has who! While your guide keeps an eye on the sturgeon rod, you can pass the time by catching trout and bass. Snake River Adventures uses G-Loomis and custom Lamiglass rods for Sturgeon fishing. We also provide light tackle for Bass and Trout fishing. Lodging will be provided by Kirby Creek Lodge.

We will provide a continental breakfast, coffee and orange juice, a personal box lunch with bottled water and soft drinks.

You will need an Idaho fishing license. Season for Trout, Bass, and Sturgeon is open all year. Keep in mind that Sturgeon on the Snake River is catch and release only.
