Journals from the Oregon

with sunlit riffles; of mountain peaks and profound canyons; of bighorn
sheep and bald eagles. You, too, can explore, float, and fly cast on
these same rivers for Rainbow trout, Steelhead, and Smallmouth bass.
Everything is provided -- the gear, excellent meals to savor and world
class guides with the knack for knowing when to leave you to your
solitude and when to offer a bit of river lore. When it comes to

White Sturgeon (Year-round)
The Columbia River is home
to the largest population of great white sturgeon in the world. The
mighty Columbia River offers top quality angling
opportunity for sturgeon throughout the year. In May the baitfish begin
entering the lower Columbia River with the tides,
and by June the Sturgeon fishing is red hot in the Astoria/Ilwaco area.
The lower river is one of the more popular areas as
good numbers of keeper size sturgeon caught here each year. The area
below Bonneville Dam is also a top spot to hook up with keeper and
oversize fish.
Oversized Sturgeon (May-August)
Put your muscles to the test. Experience the thrill
of fighting a prehistoric sturgeon from 7–14 feet in length and 100 to
over 400 pounds. It's hard to imagine just how big and strong these fish
are until you have experienced the thrill of winning the battle. You’ll
defiantly want to bring your camera along to capture this incredible
fish on film along with some of the most spectacular scenery in
North America, the Columbia River Gorge. It's Incredible!
Keeper Sturgeon (Year-Round)
This trip almost always provides tons of action and
is always non stop fun. Keeper Sturgeon range from 42" to 60" though
numerous fish are caught under and over that size. Its not uncommon for
some clients catch and release over 20 fish a day. These fish provide a
tasty white meat that is light on fishy smell. Sturgeon are one of the
best eating west coast species. Just ask around. It is also excellent
smoked and typically retails for around $14.00 or more per pound.
