Sturgeon Fishing Guides
Expert Sturgeon Fishing trips In the Pacific Northwest
What is a Sturgeon?
Sturgeon is a group of about 25 species of large, primitive fishes. They feed on small animals and plants, which they suck into extend-able, toothless mouths. A sturgeon’s body is long and narrow with several rows of bony plates along the back and sides. The upper lobe of the tail is much longer than the lower. Sturgeons are prehistoric-looking things that can be well over 100 years old. Ranging from 1 foot to over 13 feet, the Sturgeon is one of the largest freshwater fish on the planet. Let our expert Sturgeon fishing guides help you land the big one.
Because of their magnificent size and sheer brute strength, they were voted by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the top ten fish to catch in the world!
We offer two Sturgeon fishing guided trips.
The first is a Catch and Release Sturgeon fishing guide departing at Heller Bar on the Snake River. Here you will fish the entrance to Hells Canyon with spectacular scenery and plenty of wildlife to spot while you are waiting for your next bite. The Snake River fishery is our most productive, averaging 5 oversized 6 to 10-foot fish per day.
