White sturgeon Fishing

Acipenser transmontanus

White Sturgeon, North America’s largest freshwater fish, can grow over 6 m. Dwelling in Pacific rivers and estuaries, they are bottom feeders consuming clams, fish, and crustaceans. Their immense size and prehistoric appearance make them legendary among anglers. Protected in many areas, they are now catch-and-release only.
