The spring Chinook fishing has been slow to fair on the Nestucca, depending on the day. There’s more water than usual for this time of year, so all of the drifts are available. 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 been slow, there are some fish being caught, but the action is sporadic. Anglers are reminded that “Anti-Snagging Gear Restrictions” (Page 16 of the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations) are in effect from May 1 to July 15, and from the Cedar Creek Hatchery deadline to the marker downstream of Gauldy Mtn. Road Bridge is youth angling only (ages 17 and under) from June 1 to July 15.

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.
