Recreational fishermen will have two days in September to get out on the Columbia River to catch and retain white sturgeon under rules approved by the Oregon and Washington departments of fish and wildlife.  The two-day recreational fishery will take place on consecutive Saturdays – September 21 and 28.  The effective area is the Columbia River from the Wauna power lines, which cross the Columbia River about 40 miles from the river mouth, upstream to the fishing deadlines at Bonneville Dam.  Recreational fishermen will head to the water this year with an overall harvest guideline of 1,230 fish for the two days.  The white sturgeon fishery is guideline-driven, meaning managers may close the season early if the harvest guideline is expected to be exceeded.  The bag limit is one legal-sized white sturgeon per day and up to two for the year.
