The Nestucca River (up to First Bridge), and the Little Nestucca River should have fall Chinook showing up following the recent rains. The daily adult wild Chinook salmon bag limit is one fish in aggregate. No more than five adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.
The wild coho fishery CLOSED on Oct. 23. NO retention of wild coho is allowed for the remainder of the year in the Nestucca basin.
Anglers are still catching summer steelhead in the Nestucca. There are some big fish this year. Fish should be throughout the fishery up to Elk Creek, which is the angling deadline. These fish should start to get more active this time of year as water temperatures begin to drop.
Cutthroat trout fishing closed in the North Coast rivers and streams on Nov. 1.
