The Columbia River sturgeon fishing season for retention has historically been select dates in May and June. As of today (May 28, 2020), Oregon and Washington wildlife officials have yet to come to an agreement for sturgeon retention for the 2020 season. Once retention dates are set we will send out an update by email (join our email list). Regardless of the retention dates we are booking catch and release fishing trips through July. These monster fish are awesome fun to catch and release!
Columbia River sturgeon fishing trips are fantastic for the whole family! It’s a great way to get out of the house and get outdoors while avoiding crowds and air travel. You may find that local hotels are beginning to open up reservations for when it’s not convenient for a day trip.
As of today (5/22/2020), under the current Phase 1 Covid-19 reopening of Oregon, we are able to accommodate up to 2 people from different households or 3 people from the same household. We have thorough cleaning and sanitation procedures in place to provide a safe fishing trip for everyone.
