The Nestucca River is low and clear but there is still opportunity for hatchery steelhead and catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the fishery. The first summer steelhead of the season could show up anytime now. The upper Nestucca River, upstream of Moon Creek, closed for fishing on April 1 to protect spawning fish and out-migrating juveniles. It will reopen on May 22.
