Fish Report for 12-1-2022

The North Fork would be a good bet for steelhead fishing this weekend

OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

The North Fork Nehalem gets an early returning run of hatchery winter steelhead. These fish have been starting to show up for the past couple weeks and with a rise in the river level this week should see a push of fish come in. The North Fork would be a good bet for steelhead fishing this weekend. 

Hatchery coho and Chinook are mostly done on the North Fork as most of these fish have either spawned or are ready to.
