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.

There are steelhead in the Necanicum River. The hatchery run is starting to wind down but there's still some around, and catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead will start picking up. The Necanicum is very low and clear making for challenging fishing conditions. Rain predicted for the end of the week may get some fish moving but water levels will remain low.
