“It’s definitely an adrenalin rush and one of the most exciting fishing experiences you’ll ever have.”įor me, based at Rowena’s Inn on the River near Harrison Hot Springs, the excitement levels were also off the charts. While I’ve caught as many as 50 sturgeon in a single day, we average 10 to 15 per day,” says Thorimbert, who is based in Medicine Hat. “In 16 years of fishing the South Saskatchewan River for sturgeon, I’ve never been skunked,” says Brett Thorimbert, who owns and operates Alberta Sturgeon Fishing Adventures. Lake sturgeon, which are smaller than their relatives on the West Coast, grow to a maximum size of 50 kg, which, let’s be honest, is still huge for a freshwater fish.
Unbeknownst to many, a number of Alberta’s large rivers - the North and South Saskatchewan and Red Deer - are also home to sturgeon. The largest is the Beluga Sturgeon, which is found predominantly in the Black and Caspian Seas. And, interestingly, there are actually 27 different species of sturgeon. While British Columbia’s Fraser River (I actually got mine on the Harrison River) is a legendary hot spot for white sturgeon, they are found in many rivers in North America.
