Catch & Release
Sturgeon is a catch and release
fishery and our guides ensure that all clients
are educated in the
best practices for handling
these incredible animals. When angling for
other species such as salmon we ask all of our
clients to respect
and value this special resource and to take
home only the amount of fish they expect to
eat. When choosing to release these fish, proper catch
and release techniques are employed.
