alex, its a good idea in general to check regs yourself, ( on odf website or law pamplet) I could tell you "oh yeah heck, killed em there yesterday!" but am I or anyone else really concerned with you getting a ticket? the first skill a fisherman needs to learn is how to find the laws..... then focus on finding the fish. Good fishin-

It doesn't say anything about august 1st. I was at boneville dam 2 weeks ago, caught a sturgeon and was told to release it because its illegal to catch them now.

Well Its not in the FIshing Regulations, If you go to the fishing section of ODFW look around and you will see that the bonneville pool is closed for sturgeon cause the years quota was caught.

like every year before it opens again in October exception was last year when the opened it in august you just need to go to odfw and look and see, updates are not often but like salmon they may open it or close it anytime they want, i might be easier to call odfw and check with them btw i believe sturgeon is still open but thats from beacon rock which is a few miles from bonneville to the ocean

Here you go x 2
With what I am hearing is that you are fishing between the dam and marker 85. In which case, it IS closed to ALL sturgeon fishing. I have highlited that section for you. Below Marker 85 to want to Power lines it is open to keepers thurs, fri & sat.

Catch-and-release sturgeon angling is allowed during non-retention periods, unless otherwise indicated.

I heard from a very reliable source that ODFW decided this afternoon to an extension for Sturgeon retention for this weekend and next Fri-Sun. I'm sure if it's true (which I'm sure it is) I'm sure they will announce it soon.
