In northern Oregon on the Columbia River lives a remarkable creature that has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike: Herman the Sturgeon. At a whopping 89 years old, Herman is no ordinary fish, he’s a living legend and a beloved icon at the ODFW Bonneville Dam Fish Hatchery.

The ODFW Bonneville Dam Fish Hatchery, is a popular attraction in Oregon. This is ODFW’s biggest hatchery, and is used to grow Tule Fall Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as summer and winter steelhead. Among these aquatic wonders, Herman stands out as an awe-inspiring specimen.
