Recent rains have moved the majority of fish up into the rivers

Recent rains have moved the majority of fish up into the rivers and numbers left in the estuary are low. The majority of Chinook have moved above the fishery, but there should still be a few fresh fish coming through the lower river.

The wild coho fishery on the Nehalem closed after Oct. 15. There is no retention of wild coho allowed on the Nehalem for the remainder of 2022. The Nehalem does get a return of hatchery coho bound for the North Fork, and the coming rains may be enough to get a push of fish back to the hatchery.

REMINDER: The Foss Road bridge (RM 15.1) is the upper deadline for salmon fishing. The Nehalem River upstream of the Hwy 26 bridge at Elsie is closed to angling Sept. 1 to Nov. 30.
