If you're wanting to put your boat in at Swan and drive it to Strike you're looking at one heck of a long day. Would have to recommend putting in at Grandview that way you're only about 7 miles or so from Strike dam. With the way the water fluctuates below Strike you really have to be careful with a prop. You can do it but you have to accept the fact that you might bounce it on the ground a time or two. I've been down there with a prop a couple times and did alright, but we did dig it into the ground a couple times but it was a pile of junk anyways so no worries. As far as sturgeon near Boise, you're best options are gonna be Strike or Swan. However you could also try off maprock road out by Walters Ferry. Probably less of a chance to catch one as at Strike or Swan but my stepdad hooked into one catfishing out there so I know they're there. Must give you a heads up as of today it is officially Duck Killing time and on the snake out at walters ferry, and below strike you're gonna have duck hunters all over especially on weekends. I personally plan on making a few Duck killing Sturgeon Catching combo adventures this year down there. Most people are good about this and I know the river belongs to everybody but if you see somebody set up with decoys hunting give em some space. One last thing and I'm done, If you wanna catch a sturgeon go to the snake anywhere between Strike dam and Grandview. Find the deeper holes and you will catch them. Might take a few trips but you will catch them. Then after you catch them and have some sweet pictures and people ask where it was...... Tell them it was Oregon or Washington or something. Aint no sturgeon anywere in idaho but in Hells Canyon and they shouldn't even waste their time trying. [] It's getting crowded.
