The Nestucca is in good shape, but we are at the time of year when steelhead are winding down and Spring Chinook aren’t quite there yet. That said there should still be some hatchery and wild winter steelhead available, and we’ll most likely see that first Springer show up anytime now. Anglers are reminded that the upper river from Moon Creek (Blaine) to Elk Creek closed to steelhead fishing March 31 to protect spawning wild steelhead.

Fishing is slow on Three Rivers, but spring Chinook should start showing up by next month.
