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 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.
The Necanicum River hatchery steelhead run is starting to wind down, but there is still catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead in the basin. Conditions will be challenging this week as the Necanicum is low and clear and water temperatures are cold which can make fish lethargic.
