Acipenser Transmontanus: The most common are white (or actually grey) sturgeon. These sturgeon grow to about 7 feet long and 350 pounds! In fact, white sturgeons are the largest North American fresh water fish. Sturgeon are bottom feeders. Their mouths hover over the bottom and suction in food, so your bait needs to be right on the bottom.

Acipenser Medirostris: Green (or yellow) sturgeon are also found locally but are a lot less common.
