What do you like about fishing? Is it the fresh air? Is just being on the River? Or is the prize on the end of you fishing rod when you get that bite?
For me it is the battle the fish puts up when you get that hook up. That is why Sturgeon Fishing on the Columbia River just might be one of my favorite fish to catch!
Columbia River Sturgeon may reach 13 feet and 500 pounds and bigger. Just imagine being on the water and getting a bite, you set the hook and the battle is on. Line is Peeling off the reel, this giant Sturgeon jumps, all 8 or so feet of the fish is out of the water, amazing!
When fishing on the Columbia River this dream can come true! You can not keep sturgeon this big but you may catch and release them. Most sturgeon fishing is catch and release. When the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife do allow keeping a sturgeon, the keeper sizes vary — check the current rules for what size applies.
Sturgeon is without a doubt my favorite fish to eat!

Hello and good evening! I was curious if I would be able to catch and keep a sturgeon and bring 2 to 3 people along with me around May 14th, and what the price per person would be. I turn 22 and would love to catch my own fresh caviar! Thank you for your time
