Default Edmonton sturgeon?

What are the chances of catching a sturgeon within the city limits of Edmonton? Has any one ever done it more than once, or would it just be a fluke to do so?

Quite good if you know where to go. Right now with high water, they are throughout the river. Can catch them anywhere. When the water level drops and the river clears up they will be consitrated in deeper holes. But right now with higher water you can have a good chance catching them anywhere. No hole required.

I’ve caught sturgeon in 3 places and seen them caught in 2 other places within city limits, it’s pretty common.

Those look pretty good to me.
I'm going to head to to the nsr in the next week or two .Gonna poke my way downstream on the south side of the river. then back upstream , when I hit Victoria Settlement. See what spots I can find. My only concern if water conditions. Hoping the river will be down from it"s run off /rain period.

I’ve drove the Victoria trail to Victoria settlement. There’s a few spots to access but not as many as I expected. Those pics are from under the wasetnau bridge.
