Lower Columbia River Sturgeon Fishing

In mid-May we move downstream to the Astoria-Megler Bridge area at the mouth of the Columbia. There we concentrate on fishing for the abundant sturgeon. Sturgeon are also an anadromous fish native to the Columbia system, but have a much longer lifespan than salmon and can grow to enormous sizes. If you have not experienced a hot sturgeon bite, then black-out some dates in mid-May through June and join us for this fantastic fishery - we may hook 25 fish and the largest  could well be longer than you are tall! With launches at Chinook and Deep River we have maximum flexibility to get to the hot spots with a minimum amount of running time.
