The Nestucca is in good shape and spring Chinook fishing has been fair. There’s more water than usual for this time of year, so all of the drifts are available. The water has been a little cold for prime springer fishing, but with the warm weather early this week, it should be improving by the weekend. Bobber fishing bait, back bouncing, pulling divers and bait or plugs are all good techniques. We haven’t heard many reports of summer steelhead, but there should be fish in the system.

Spring Chinook fishing on Three Rivers has picked up a little and there are some fish being caught.

Trout season opened May 22, and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches.
