Columbia River White Sturgeon Fishing
The
northwest is home to the largest population of great white sturgeon in the
world. The lower Columbia River at Astoria, in the beautiful Columbia River
estuary, offers sportsmen top quality sturgeon angling opportunity
throughout the year. Sturgeon average from 7 - 14 feet in length and can
weigh up to 400 pounds. It's hard to imagine just how big and strong these
fish are until you've experienced the fight for yourself first-hand. You'll
want to bring along your camera to capture this incredible fish on film
along with the vast scenery of the Columbia River Gorge, some of the most
spectacular in North America.
This trip provides plenty of action and fun for veteran as well as beginner
anglers. Keeper Sturgeon range from 42" to 60" though many are hooked under
and over that size. These fish are known to provide some of the best eating
meat of any freshwater species. Sturgeon is great smoked, deep fried, baked
or smoked and canned. This is Oregon coast fishing adventure that's sure to
please. Some Seaside Oregon
fishing charters offer trips for Chinook, but guide trips are much more fun
and tend to be more productive a well.
White Sturgeon
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 Columbia River is one
of the more popular areas as good numbers of keeper size sturgeon are caught
here each year. The area below Bonneville Dam is also a top spot to hook up
with both keeper and oversize sturgeon.
Oversized Sturgeon (May -
August)
Put your muscles to the
test. Experience the thrill of fighting a prehistoric Columbia River 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.

the Columbia River estuary near Astoria and Seaside. Sport catches

This is a fun family trip that provides quality meat for the table and a
unique experience for all. In addition to a fishing license a shellfish

Columbia River Fishing Guides
Let's Go Fishing Guide Service offers some of the best fishing in the nation if not the
world and the same holds true for the regional Columbia River Fishing
Guides as they are as skilled and knowledgeable as any of their tropical
or saltwater fishing guide counterparts.
Referring to Columbia River fishing as some of the the best
fishing in the world is not as bold a statement as one would think. No we
aren't talking about typical sport fishing trips with all the colorful and
acrobatic billfish that most "sportfishermen" think of when you mention
'sport fishing'. Instead we are talking about Columbia River sport
fishing, something really special that the majority of anglers, especially
anglers in the southern regions never get a chance to experience.
Columbia River fishing means Sturgeon fishing, which means you are
fishing for a fish that can reach sizes likely bigger than you are and
when you catch one of these magnificent marine creatures you can take home
an Oregon charter fishing story none of your fishing buddies can compete
with. As fun and exciting as Sturgeon fishing is though it is not the only
type of fishing on the Columbia River and your local Oregon fishing guide
will also offer fishing charters for the many species of salmon and a few
other species in addition to some exciting Sturgeon fishing.
Join
me -- professional Oregon fishing
guide Shanon Meehan -- for a fun and exciting guided fishing
adventure for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Shad, Steelhead or Sturgeon at locations
throughout Northwest Oregon including Portland, Seaside and the Oregon coast.
