Willamette River Sturgeon Season 2012

Marvin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:04:47 +0000

Well people Oregon fish and wildlife set the Sturgeon season for the Willamette River today.
I don’t like it, but what can I do? We only get 4 days of Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette river.

Sturgeon retention season on the Lower Willamette River (including Multnomah Channel and the Gilbert River) will be open Feb. 17-18 and Feb. 24-25 2012

The shortened harvest season is in response to a continued decline in the abundance of legal-sized fish in both the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Last week, the directors of Oregon and Washington departments of fish and wildlife agreed on a reduction in the harvest rate for both rivers from 22.5 percent to 16 percent for 2012. That’s a 38 percent reduction in the number of fish that can be harvested from the Willamette, and a 2012 harvest guideline between 1,768 and 2,022 fish.

I do expect some great Sturgeon fishing, I also expect huge crowds of people out there. the daily bag limit is one fish with a fork length between 38 and 54 inches!

Above Bonneville Dam Sturgeon

Marvin — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 05:30:13 +0000

Sturgeon fishing above Bonneville Dam will open January 1, 2012. Sturgeon retention is allowed 7 day’s a week until the quota of Sturgeon are caught.
If you are looking to put some fresh Sturgeon in your freezer you want to go in January or early February. I don’t expect Sturgeon fishing above Bonneville Dam to stay open very long. Sturgeon must be between 38 and 54 inches to be able to keep them. You are allowed to keep one Sturgeon a day, but you may continue to catch and release after you have tagged your Sturgeon.

Marvin’s Guide service will be fishing from the Cascade Locks, Oregon area. Cascade Locks is about 7 miles east of the Bonneville Dam.

I know your thinking this is to cold to go fishing, but don’t worry, we have a covered and heated boat so you will be fishing in comfort.

Call Marvin’s Guide Service today and let’s get you hooked up on some great winter Sturgeon fishing in the Columbia River Gorge.

Marvin — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:21:51 +0000

Winter is just around the corner, and you might be asking yourself what am I going to do on some of these cold, rainy days?

Well, How about fishing in Portland Oregon with Marvin’s Guide Service because we have a covered and heated boat, an we will do some winter Sturgeon fishing!

In November and December we will be Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River around the mouth of the Willamette River; this always provides some great fishing action.

January we will be fishing on the Colombia River above Bonneville Dam, around Cascade Locks, Oregon. This fishery is usually allowed 7 days a week and you will find plenty of fat Sturgeon here.

Don’t forget about the Willamette River! We’re still waiting to hear from ODFW on the opening day, it might be as early as January 1st, or later in February. I can tell you this: when the Willamette opens it is going to be some Wild Sturgeon fishing, and, as always, the Willamette River won’t stay open for Sturgeon fishing very long.

If you would like to get on the list to fish the Willamette River when it opens please call now and I will get you on the list. Days go fast for Willamette River Sturgeon fishing. On the Willamette you are only allowed to keep Sturgeon 3 day’s a week when it opens; Thursday-Saturday.

Call now and book a day for sure in Cascade locks in January for some Winter Sturgeon fishing This should be a 7 day a week fishery.

Salmon fishing Portland Oregon

Marvin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 03:43:52 +0000

Now that the Chinook Salmon season is shut down on the Columbia River below Tongue Point, and I have to say there was some great Salmon fishing down there, it is time to start doing some salmon fishing in the Portland, Oregon, area.

One of the fist places I will be Salmon fishing is down by the I 205 bridge on the Columbia River. You can fish a few different ways here one way I like to fish is trolling with a jet diver and an Alvin wobbler. Also sitting on the hook works great with a Alvin when the water is moving enough.

Next up, mid-September will be on the Columbia River just below Bonneville Dam. I will be back trolling with a jet diver and a quick fish. You don’t want to miss out on September salmon fishing on the Columbia River, this is a great time to put some fresh Salmon in you freezer.

After September 10th you will be allowed to keep to Chinook Salmon on the Columbia river.

Sturgeon Reopen Above Bonneville Dam

Marvin — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 13:48:52 +0000

Oregon and Washington agreed to reopen Bonneville Pool, for Sturgeon fishing, this is the section of the Columbia River between Bonneville Dam and The Dalles Dams, for two three-day periods. The first Sturgeon season will start on June 30, July 1 and July 2, and the second Sturgeon season is from July 7-9. after the July 9 date, the reservoir will again close to sturgeon retention for the remainder of the year. This reopening was possible because about 400 fish remain on the Bonneville Pool guideline from the winter fishing season.

Sturgeon must be between 38 inch and 54 inch to keep, you may keep one Sturgeon each, you may catch and release after you tag your Sturgeon. Good luck, and be safe out there.
