Guided Sturgeon Fishing Trips

They have been called the dinosaurs of the Columbia. White Sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America. They can weigh over 1,500 pounds, be 20 feet in length, and live for over 100 years. People come from around the world just to feel the power these fish have!

Battling a Sturgeon is an experience you’ll never forget. Prepare for at least an hour long fight. Imagine having a 700 pound fish jump completely out of the water while being attached to your line. If you’re looking for the thrill of a lifetime… you’ve found it!

Sturgeon fishing is great fun for young and old. Targeting keepers, oversize or the smaller undersized for children, will definitely give you and your party life-long memories. Fishing with the boat anchored gives you a chance to relax and take in everything around you. The views, scenery and wild life are just breath taking. Be sure to bring your camera. Sea Lions, bald eagles, sun rises, sunsets and countless other photo opportunities are all a part of these fishing trips.

Catch and Release: Sturgeon fishing is an all year fishery. The Columbia and Willamette Rivers offer catch and release Sturgeon fishing opportunities year round. An average day of catch and release Sturgeon fishing means catching from 15 to 30 fish.

Oversize Sturgeon: Oversize sturgeon are fish over 6 feet long weighing 100 pounds plus. The big fish start moving into the Columbia River in May through July following the the yearly run of Shad. On a typical Oversize Sturgeon fishing trip you can expect to battle 2 to 5 of these monsters that range between 6 and 15 feet in length! All oversize fish must be released and can’t be removed from the water.

Keeper Sturgeon: There is a very limited harvest season. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates the size and when anglers can retain Sturgeon.
