Green Sturgeon
The Green Sturgeon, a living dinosaur, is North America's largest sturgeon species, and a truly unique catch for any angler. Found primarily along the Pacific Coast, from California up through Oregon and Washington, these ancient fish migrate between freshwater rivers and the ocean, offering a challenging and rewarding fishing experience. Their impressive size and prehistoric appearance make them a prized target for those seeking a memorable angling adventure.
Green Sturgeon Fishing in Astoria
Astoria, Oregon, is strategically located at the mouth of the Columbia River, offering excellent opportunities for targeting Green Sturgeon. These ancient fish migrate through the river system, providing anglers with a chance to catch a true trophy. The Columbia River's estuary, with its mix of saltwater and freshwater, is a prime feeding ground. Sturgeon fishing here is best during the fall and winter months when the fish are actively feeding before their upstream migration.
Local anglers often focus on deep holes and channels in the river, particularly near the bridge pilings and shipping lanes. A popular tactic is to use heavy gear and bottom fish with baits like sand shrimp, herring, or even salmon carcasses. Several boat ramps provide access to the Columbia River near Astoria, but be mindful of the strong currents and heavy boat traffic. Sturgeon fishing in Oregon is strictly regulated, so be sure to check the current regulations for size limits, closures, and any required endorsements before heading out. Handle these magnificent fish with care if you practice catch and release.
