The Nehalem gets a run of "summer Chinook" (an early component of the fall run) and those fish are in the bay. Fishing remains fair with a few fish being caught daily, although some of the fish seem to be more interested in jumping than biting. Fish are throughout the bay and fresh salmon are still coming in
