Retention of sturgeon is allowed from Willamette Falls up to the Hwy 99 Bridge:
Willamette Falls upstream to Hwy 20 Bridge in Albany
• Open for hatchery Chinook, coho, and hatchery steelhead all year.
• Open for white sturgeon 1 per day and 2 per year, 38 inch minimum and 54 inch maximum fork length.
• Use of bait allowed.
Hwy 20 Bridge upstream to Hwy 99 Bridge and tributaries
• Open all year, 2 trout per day, 8 inch minimum length.
• Open for white sturgeon 1 per day and 2 per year, 38 inch minimum and 54 inch maximum fork length.
From the above though it does not look like bait is allowed to be used between Hwy 20 and Hwy 99.
