They say that 90% of Sturgeon spend 10% of their time in salt water. I know they travel the coastal areas quite a bit and will follow the salmon and oolie runs around. A tagged Fraser fish was caught in the columbia system a few years back. I also read in a BC Outdoors a while ago that the natives caught a # of large sturgeon on the Somass in their nets.

I was at Cherry Point Beach on Vancouver Island on May 7 2012 and I filmed a possible dead sturgeon on shore

There are reports of sturgeon in the lower end of the nanaimo river every year as well. They travel up and down the coast and could possibly poke their nose into any river.

You've got it here...the white sturgeon has been sat tracked on our coasts and specimens have been followed from the Fraser, and further north down to the Columbia. After the big salmon runs in the river, they likely head out to the ocean to feed/grow/migrate.


should have just said x2 to get bents post :P
