Sturgeon Fishing
     Sturgeon fishing is an all year fishery. February thru April are the most productive Sturgeon fishing months on the upper Columbia River from St. Helens, Oregon to Bonneville Dam. The lower Columbia River in the Astoria, Oregon area is one of the most popular fishing locations. Fishing for Sturgeon out of Astoria is productive and it is one of the hottest fishing locations for Oregon and Washington anglers. Sturgeon are the most powerful fish you will ever catch. Sturgeon fishing is regulated and the minimum length is 42 inches and the maximum is 60 inches. Sturgeon caught outside this range of length must be released, but none the less are a blast to catch.
