I forgot to mention, we had at least 4 doubles and we also caught 5 rainbow trout and 3 mirror carp. Not easy to catch either of these on 5/0 and 6/0 hooks. Also, neither can put up much of a fight on sturgeon gear.
We were told that they were changing the stream flow and I just noticed that it went from ~6,900 to ~8,100 (with some swings in the flow, along the way) while we were there. They sound an alarm just before raising the flow rates, which Don heard, but I was unable to hear (the alarm must be in a high-pitch range that I struggle to hear.). I am surprised that we did as well as we did, because changing stream flows often slows down the bite.
