Idaho Fish Report

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 just about over and the number of hatchery fish in decent condition will be low. There is still catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the fishery. The Necanicum is dropping quickly and should be in prime shape in a couple of days.
