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 Westport
Westport, Washington, offers anglers a gateway to excellent Green Sturgeon fishing in the waters of Grays Harbor and the Chehalis River estuary. These ancient fish migrate through these waters, offering a unique fishing experience. The best time to target sturgeon near Westport is typically during the fall and winter months, as they are actively feeding in preparation for spawning.
A local tip is to focus on areas with deep channels and strong tidal currents, as these are prime feeding locations for sturgeon. Popular baits include ghost shrimp, sand shrimp, and various types of oily fish. Several boat ramps around Westport provide access to Grays Harbor, but be aware of the strong tides and potentially rough conditions. Sturgeon fishing in Washington is subject to specific regulations, including size limits, harvest quotas, and mandatory catch record cards. Be sure to check the current regulations before you go, and practice responsible catch-and-release techniques to help conserve this unique species.
