Sturgeon Fishing Umpqua River: Sturgeon fishing on the lower Umpqua River in Oregon!
Sturgeon are a delicacy and may be one of the best fish you have ever eaten.
Fishing the Umpqua River for trophy Sturgeon and keeper Sturgeon will give you an experience you won't soon forget. The Umpqua River fishing guides will tell you that February through June provides the best action for catching both the Green Sturgeon and White Sturgeon.
Umpqua Sturgeon are the prehistoric monsters of the river and to hook one will be "the battle is on." You will have a chance of catching a fish up to nine feet long. Sturgeon not only have the strength to pull your boat up river but can also jump out of the water during the battle. It is very exciting to see one of these giants jump straight into the air.
You will be fishing the lower Umpqua River in tide water, upstream from Winchester Bay, Oregon.
Method of fishing Sturgeon is to drift bait behind an anchored boat using sand shrimp, herring or shad. The Umpqua River offers Trophy Sturgeon and Keeper Sturgeon. Each fisherman is allowed to keep one Sturgeon per day, between 3 !/2 feet to 5 feet long. Your Umpqua River Sturgeon guide provides all fishing equipment and tackle.
Your success in catching a keeper Sturgeon is higher when fishing with an licensed Oregon fishing guide. Make your fishing reservations early, as the Oregon sturgeon fishing guides have a limited number of fishing dates.
