Sturgeon

Sturgeon, ancient giants of the Pacific Northwest’s waters, command awe and fascination with their prehistoric appearance and massive size. These formidable fish, such as the White Sturgeon, inhabit the region’s rivers and estuaries, where they can reach lengths exceeding 10 feet and weights of over 1,000 pounds. Known for their armored bodies and elongated snouts, Sturgeon have inhabited these waters for millions of years, embodying a living link to the distant past. Anglers are drawn to Sturgeon for their impressive strength and the challenge they present during the catch-and-release sport fishing that is common for these species.
