The Nestucca is just getting started for winter steelhead with a few early hatchery fish showing up. Numbers will still be low, but the rains predicted for this weekend should get fish moving, and once the river starts dropping there should be opportunity. The lower river is probably the best bet.

Three Rivers should be getting some hatchery steelhead back, and with decent rain and high water predicted for this weekend; it could be a good bet.

Chinook on the Nestucca should be winding down as most of the salmon are actively spawning, or spawned out. There is usually a late push of fresh Chinook into the Nestucca in December, but numbers will be low, and they tend to move through the fishery quickl
