No retention of wild coho allowed. The wild coho fishery closed on October 27.

Fall Chinook should be migrating into the Nestucca and Little Nestucca Rivers this week after last week's rains and as a result fishing should improve in the rivers and slow in the estuary. There are still fresh fish coming in and that will continue through November. The wild adult fall Chinook bag limit is 1 per day and 5 per season in the Nestucca basin as part of the overall daily bag limit. See the regulation updates online for more details.

Summer steelhead are throughout the Nestucca River fishery (up to Elk Creek). Fall can be a good time to target these fish as dropping water temperatures can make them more active and willing to bite. Light float fishing set ups with terminal baits like beads, jigs or small natural baits, as well as casting spoons or spinners can be effective. Early morning and late evening will be the best times to fish, although if there's good cloud cover or a little rain fish may stay on the bite more of the day.

Cutthroat trout season closes October 31.
