Portland Oregon Sturgeon fishing guide

With spring finally arriving it’s time to hire a Portland Oregon sturgeon fishing guide.

At Marvin’s Guide Service, we are one of the top sturgeon fishing guides in the Norhtwest. I will be fishing the Willamette River and Columbia River hooking up on some excellent Sturgeon.

Sturgeon fishing in the Portland Oregon area has been a Favorite of mine for years. with Sturgeon ranging 4 to 11 feet long offers excitement for everybody on the boat.

We will be fishing a few of our favorite Sturgeon spots near Portland Oregon and finding good Sturgeon fishing wherever we go. Sturgeon fishing should stay good throughout the summer and continue to get better as shad start to show up in the river. One of my favorite baits for giant sturgeon is shad. I will use the whole entire shad for giant sturgeon.

We will also be offering shad fishing trips in the Portland, Oregon area. When season allows, we won’t do combo sturgeon in shad trips in the same day.

Spring and summer will be a great time to catch big quality sturgeon. The largest freshwater fish in North America is a sturgeon.

Sturgeon is mostly all catch and release, but there will be a very small window in January 2024 to fish above Bonneville Dam for some keepers to help fill the freezer. Post was updated January 16, 2024, the sturgeon season above Bonneville has closed. However, sturgeon fishing is still open for catch and release.

There is also the potential for another Sturgeon season on the Columbia River in 2024 in the Astoria Oregon, watch for updates here.
