Astoria sturgeon fishing is not only popular for the abundant sturgeon populations that gather here
Although not the largest sturgeon that grace the Columbia, these monster sturgeon frequently attain lengths of 5 foot or better. Since much of the estuary is made up of shallow sand bars where sturgeon forage on shallow water freshwater clams and sand shrimp, we often fish for Astoria sturgeon in water less than 10 feet deep, using light gear and light line. Fighting an Astoria sturgeon on light gear is a memory you won’t soon forget.
