About Your Trip

If your goal is to battle a fish you'll remember for the rest of your life, few experiences compare to targeting White Sturgeon on the Columbia River. These prehistoric giants have been swimming North American waters for millions of years, and hooking into one is unlike any freshwater fishing experience you'll find.

Captain Gregory specializes in pursuing these incredible fish throughout the productive waters surrounding Astoria. After reaching prime sturgeon habitat, you'll fish using heavy-duty rods, powerful reels, braided line, and carefully selected baits designed specifically to attract these bottom-dwelling giants. While patience is part of the game, the reward can be extraordinary. A single bite may lead to a lengthy battle against a fish capable of powerful runs, dramatic headshakes, and even spectacular jumps.

White Sturgeon in the Columbia commonly reach lengths of three to six feet, but much larger fish are always possible. These fish can grow well over ten feet long and weigh several hundred pounds, making them the largest freshwater fish in North America. Every hookup feels like a genuine encounter with a living dinosaur.

Beyond the fishing itself, you'll enjoy a scenic day on one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic waterways. Bald eagles, sea lions, and breathtaking river landscapes are common sights throughout the trip. Whether you're crossing sturgeon off your bucket list or introducing someone to the thrill of big-game freshwater fishing, this charter offers an unforgettable day chasing some of the most impressive fish swimming anywhere in the world.
