Sturgeon Fishing
Fishing for Sturgeon  in Oregon and Washington

Washington Sturgeon are great eating and great fun to catch!

Columbia Sturgeon are excellent biters, hard fighters, and some of the finest eating fish available.

The Columbia River Sturgeon fishery is carefully co-managed by the Washington and Oregon Departments of Fish and Game and provides excellent fishing year round in some years.

The beautiful Columbia River especially in the Columbia River Gorge is one of Washington's most beautiful places.

Washington Columbia River Sturgeon come in three sizes: Shakers, Keepers and Peelers!

• Shakers are undersize or sub legal fish - those under 42 inches. These fish are required to be released unharmed, but are great fun on light tackle.
• Keepers are those fish from 42 to 60 inches long, these fish are legal to retain. These fish are plentiful and provide excellent table fare. As these fish move from the mouth of the Columbia at Astoria/Ilwaco to the Dalles Dam are we are able to track their movements and target them for our clients.
• Peelers are those HUGE fish that can peel the line from your reel often without realizing that they are hooked., From May through September, we offer catch and release trips for oversized Sturgeon. These are fish larger than the 60 inch maximum keeper size. These monsters can run up to fifteen feet in length and weighing up to 500 pounds.!
