The Nehalem came up early this week but will be dropping until Saturday morning when it’s predicted to go back up just a little. It may fish towards the end of the week but will be on the high side. The Nehalem mainstem is a mostly wild steelhead river without any hatchery releases, but there is plenty of catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead.
