The Nestucca is just a little on the high side as of this writing but is on the drop and should be in prime condition through the end of the week. It’s predicted to go up a little on Saturday but should remain fishable and will be back on the drop early next week. Winter steelhead fishing has been fair to good recently. The Nestucca River has a wild broodstock hatchery run, meaning the hatchery steelhead here are from wild origin. As such they mimic the wild run timing which peaks now through March. This will be one on the best bets for hatchery winter steelhead for the remainder of the season.
