White Sturgeon
The northwest is home to the largest population of great white sturgeon in the world. The Columbia River, in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, offers 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.

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.
