igquick, you can still C&R sturgeon in the Columbia, but no retention.
Guys, the quota for sportsman vs commercial is 80% for sportsman and 20% for commercial. The sportsman have already taken their 80% of the allotment, the commercials have not taken their 20% yet. Thus, commercial stays open until they take their allotted 20% then it closes for them as well. I know this is disappointing for all those who want to keep a fish, but a quota was set and has already been met. Personally, I wish they would close it for retention (sport and commercial) for a good 10 years to help the population recover, but I doubt this will happen.
