Washington Sturgeon fishing


Catch Record Cards are required statewide. Annual WHITE STURGEON limit is 5 fish
even if the angler holds both a Washington and Oregon license. GREEN STURGEON
may not be retained. In Columbia River waters forming the boundary between
Washington and Oregon, STURGEON anglers may continue to fish (catch-and-release) after a
daily or yearly limit has been retained. Only one single-point barbless hook and bait
is allowed when fishing for STURGEON. In the field, eggs must be retained with intact carcass
of fish from which they came. Night closure in effect for all STURGEON.
Any STURGEON not to be retained must be released immediately. Oversized STURGEON
cannot be removed totally or in part from the water. http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/
Tagged STURGEON: Do not remove tags from fish not of legal size or not to be retained, but
record: tag number and color, date, location of catch, fish length, your name and address.
If fish is retained, remove tag and send with above information to WDFW's Region 5
(Vancouver) office.
