Astoria Sturgeon fishing
Oversize and keeper Sturgeon gather in great numbers in the Columbia River estuary late Spring to early Summer to feed on the large quantity of bait such as clams, and large schools of anchovies that are in the river which greatly increases the chances of hooking into one of the largest, strongest fish you can catch in fresh water.
In recent years Sturgeon retention in Oregon has been limited to the main-stem Columbia River from the Wauna power lines downstream to Buoy 10 as well as Youngs Bay and some Washington tributaries. Astoria trophy Sturgeon fishing trips can be an action packed day where its not unheard of to catch up to 40 fish.
The majority of the time we will be anchored in shallow water near the sand flats usually 5-10’ deep, in which the Sturgeon (40-200lbs) put on a show jumping out of the water.
All top of the line Sturgeon fishing gear is provided. No fishing experience is required to enjoy our Sturgeon fishing trips.
