These Sturgeon must be at least 38 inches
long and no longer than 54 inches to put
them in the box, but with the large
population of Sturgeon in the Columbia River
there is non-stop action catching and
releasing smaller and sometimes longer
Sturgeon until you get the one you want to
take home (must be 38-54") with white flaky
meat similar to Halibut, a great eating
fish.

Portland Oregon area Fishing reports
With catch rates and dam counts both setting
all-time records, fall Chinook are the star attraction for Columbia River
anglers. Boat fishers working the lower Columbia from Longview upstream to
Woodland during the first half of September averaged up to 1.6 Chinook per
rod - the highest catch rates ever seen in the area, reports regional fish
biologist Joe Hymer. At the same time, fall Chinook were passing
Bonneville Dam in all-time record, single-day numbers. The Sept. 11 tally
was 45,884 Chinook, easily surging past the previous single-day record of
39,376 set on Sept. 12, 1987, Hymer reports. Counts continued to exceed
the old record through Sept. 14. "We've probably passed the peak, but it
was quite a peak - the last couple of weeks have been incredible," says
Hymer. As the bulk of the run heads past Bonneville, Chinook fishing
should pick up at the mouths or inside the tributaries such as Drano Lake
and the White Salmon and Klickitat rivers. "There'll be waves of fish
heading upstream," adds Hymer. Fall Chinook are also pulling out of the
mainstem Columbia into lower tributaries such as the Elochoman, Cowlitz,
Toutle, Kalama, Lewis and Washougal rivers. In addition to the recent
record daily counts of adult fall Chinook at Bonneville Dam, steelhead
and Coho daily counts were a season high of 8,000 fish daily Sept. 13
and 14. Meanwhile, Buoy 10 boat fishers continue to do fairly well on
hatchery Coho, averaging a half-fish to one fish per rod the week of
Sept. 8. Increasing numbers of Coho are showing upstream as well,
particularly in the lower Cowlitz, Toutle and North Fork Lewis rivers.
Sturgeon fishers have been finding success off the bank below Bonneville
Dam and from boats in the Kalama-Woodland area. Lake anglers are
enjoying the benefits of a recent plant of 4,000 cutthroat trout,
averaging 15 inches long, in Goose Lake north of Carson. Fishers are
reminded that no boats equipped with combustion motors are allowed on
the lake, which also holds some nice-size brown trout. Hatchery sea-run
cutthroat fishing opportunity is surfacing on the Cowlitz River, where
22,000 fish returned to the hatcheries last year. Fishing is focused
from Blue Creek downstream through the fall. The trout can be readily
taken on flies, lures and bait. The Cowlitz has a
liberal daily limit of five trout, with no more than two over 20 inches.
Wildlife viewing: As noted in the Fishing section, above, a
record-breaking run of returning fall Chinook salmon, along with
season-high numbers of Coho and steelhead have been passing the fish
windows at Bonneville Dam. As salmon arrive at their upstream spawning
grounds, streamside viewing will also be a possibility. Viewers are
reminded that special care is needed to avoid interfering with spawning of
protected species such as fall Chinook. In particular, avoid walking on
fish redds, the light-colored depressions in stream gravel beds where
salmon deposit their eggs. Thousands of crimson-red Kokanee can be seen in
the creek near Speelyai Hatchery on the North Fork Lewis River (Merwin
Reservoir). Thousands more will begin spawning shortly on Cougar Creek in
Yale Reservoir, also on the North Fork Lewis.
