The Nehalem mainstem is a mostly wild steelhead river without any hatchery releases, but there is plenty of catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead. The Nehalem has been in good shape for the past month and fishing pressure has been picking up there. A good freshet predicted to come in late this weekend should make for good fishing early next week, IF the river doesn’t get off color
