That trip is on my bucket list! I want one good sturgeon, that is all. Brother Vinke, when is the best time of the year to make the trip?


I have nothing clever to put here.

June may work. That is when I usually go to Canada but I will skip a year to catch one good dinosaur.

My favorite fishing! Even if you can’t keep them. Kinda like poor man’s marlin. Caught a 10 footer last summer, really puts old arms to the test!

Gotta say, I’ve never seen an outboard that big with a tiller handle. Some nice fish!

I gave up fishing them years ago when it was year around, and anything under 72" was a keeper.
What are the slot limits now, and when can you keep them? We used to lightly smoke them, then can them; delicious.

And it wouldn't surprise me if there are more of them around now, than back then (late 70's); and there were plenty of them back then, (on the lower Columbia).
