I don't know about this year but I saw with my own eyes a sturgeon was caught at the mouth of the Seymour two years ago during the pink run. It was foul hooked. A couple of days later I saw another angler hooked the same sturgeon.

blaydRnr,

I think it was a white sturgeon transported to Cultus lake, supposedly they can live in a wet burlap bag for hours outside of water! According to the article, it eventually adapted and changed to a greenish color.

I don't remember but I think they left it in the lake?

Could very well be. Inspite of what those who think they have all the answers say, there is very little know about sturgeon. I remember reading some of the newly found sience a year or so ago where they found tagged fraser river sturgeon on the west coast of vancouver island inhaling live coho. The brain flash from the report was (get ready for it) "stugeon eat live food sources not just dead ones."
