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

The Nestucca River blew out over the weekend following heavy rains. With more rain on the way it will probably stay high and off color through the weekend. When it does drop back into shape there should be Fall Chinook throughout the fishery (up to 1st bridge). 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.

Cutthroat trout season closed November1.
