Actual.....commercial netting has taken many of the sturgeon. Grays Harbor NT were allow to take white sturgeon in both the Chehalis River, Willapa Bay, and the Columbia......those net fisheries should have been shut down, years ago.

Guided sturgeon trips, on the Columbia were more recent, but once it caught on.......it boomed......it was catch and keep but those days are long past......now catch and release.

Tribes are allow to net and keep certain size sturgeon...
