Attention boaters: There is a boating obstruction/hazard upstream of Mail Creek on the Necanicum River (between the Hwy 26 bridge and Klootchy Park). This is a large log/debris jam blocking the river. Boaters should use extreme caution. Check the Oregon State Marine Board boater obstruction map here.

The Necanicum River fall Chinook season ended Nov. 30. See regulation updates for details.

The Hwy 101 boat ramp on the Necanicum has been re-opened for angler access. The gate remains up but has a combination lock on it. Anglers can get the combination by calling the Tillamook District office at (503) 842–2741 and providing their name and ODFW Hunter/Angler ID number.

Hatchery winter steelhead continue to show up at the North Fork Nehalem hatchery. This is the same stock of steelhead that is released in the Necanicum, and we've had some reports of fish getting caught the past week. It's early and numbers will be low, but for those anxious to start winter steelhead fishing this basin is one of the best opportunities this time of year.
