Have caught n released plenty o dinos at Swan, but want to get a keeper just once, never tasted sturgeon, let alone fresh sturgeon. Was hoping someone could give some advice for general areas to try for em, preferably shallower spots, for easier/safer anchoring.
Was checking out some maps, just above Cascade Lock, and a lil downstream from Herman creek looked like possible good spots...any info would be much appreciated!
A day without fishing probably wouldn't kill me,
but why risk it?

They’re delicious.
Bank, kayak, or boat? That area referenced is solid. I’ve fished it many times but only from a pb.
You’ll likely need to catch a bunch to find one in the legal slot.

Will be fishing from a yak, main reason I was looking for shallower spots to anchor. I know the right size ones are few n far between, but I won't get any if I don't try. Thanks for the info!

The boat ramp is nice but the current is really strong through the chute there. Marine Park Beach would probably best in/out with the yak.
Good luck if you go!

Sounds like the sturgeon quota might get reached today.
Apparently hundreds of boats on the river, and a pretty good bite. I had to spend the day with the family. Oh well, maybe next year...

Yup, season is closed after 1 day. Quota was for 1,055 sturgeon for the season. Must have been a hot bite...
