Wyo-J, I fish Strike all the time, both above the dam and below.
Get a 12+ foot rod for fishing off the bank, and a reel with a strong drag that holds at least 300 yds of 50 pound test. If you don't you will end up breaking off these fish, and they will suffer for it. When they break off, the tag end can get snagged up in the bottom where they feed, and cause them big problems.
Your best bet is to fight them fast, and release them in good condition. You should never fight a sturgeon longer than a hour(30 minutes if you can).
