Hell's Canyon Sturgeon Adventure

In Episode 122 of Northwest Fishing, we embark on an exhilarating adventure with Killgore Adventures in White Bird, Idaho, where our main quest is to hook into some trophy sturgeon! Hell's Canyon always produces the most incredible and MASSIVE fish, so we had to get back onto the Snake River for this episode. Our guide Kurt Killgore shares some exciting insights about the area, including the current record for sturgeon, which stands at an impressive 10’1”. But we’re not just aiming to tie that record; we’re looking to break it!

Today, we’ll also target some feisty smallmouth bass and big rainbow trout, making our day all the more thrilling. As we navigate the rugged waters, we utilize various techniques to catch our bait and fish, including spinners and worms in the fast-moving water. The crew also meets with some special guests from the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council, who contribute valuable insights on making fishing accessible for everyone.
