I asked this question a while back and got a few replies. I fished out of Hebb park once this winter when the water was high and ripping, but did not catch anything there. If you really want some C&R sturgeon success I would recommend fishing below the falls (even though it would be a bit of a drive). Pretty much every deep hole (see http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/18528.shtml) holds plenty of sturgeon. I think folks are generally more tight lipped above the falls because it is open for retention year and the population is not nearly as big. Best of luck!
