Nestucca River Updates

Spring Chinook fishing is slow overall on the Nestucca River but there are fish throughout the fishery and it sounds like a few fresh springers moved into the river over the past couple weeks. Cedar Creek hatchery has recycled a few spring Chinook. These fish are marked with a hole punch in the operculum (gill cover); if you catch one, we'd love to hear about it. Please report it to Cedar Creek hatchery or to the district office at (503)842-2741.‌

Summer steelhead are in the Nestucca and there are some fish being caught. Cedar Creek hatchery recycled 34 summers downstream last week and reported that the fish are big this year. Fish should be throughout the fishery (up to Elk Creek). The upper Nestucca has good water temperatures for this time of year which should keep fish more active. ‌

Cutthroat trout fishing should be fair to good, with fish spread through the river system. Sea-run cutthroat have been moving through the tidewater and should be making their way upriver.
