Sturgeon Fishing 101

Alright, let's talk shop. Sturgeon fishing isn't your average cast-and-reel gig. These fish like to hang out near the bottom, so we'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels with braided line that can handle the weight and the fight. We typically use a sliding sinker rig with a circle hook, baited up with some sturgeon candy – think pickled squid, fresh salmon roe, or maybe some ghost shrimp if we're feeling fancy. The key is patience and feel. When that sturgeon takes the bait, you'll know it, and that's when the real fun begins. Get ready for some serious arm workout as you battle these prehistoric powerhouses!

Meet the White Sturgeon

Let's talk about our target species – the white sturgeon. These living fossils have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, and they sure look the part with their armored plates and prehistoric appearance. White sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America, capable of growing over 20 feet long and weighing more than 1,500 pounds. Now, most of the ones we'll be catching are in the 3 to 6-foot range, but even those will give you a run for your money. These bottom-dwellers are most active in the cooler months, from fall through spring, but we can find them year-round in the deep holes and channels of Oregon's rivers. What makes them so exciting to catch? It's not just their size – it's their raw power and endurance. When you hook into a sturgeon, be prepared for a battle that can last anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. It's you versus a fish that's been perfecting its survival skills for millions of years – talk about a worthy opponent!
