The wild coho fishery on the Nestucca and Little Nestucca Bay closed after Oct. 13. There is NO retention of wild coho (including jacks) in North coast bays or rivers for the remainder of 2021.
There should be good numbers of Chinook pushing into the Nestucca basin this week, and fish are probably throughout the fishery. Conditions are going to be a little challenging until the weather calms down though. The bay may be a little slow as many fish moved upstream, but there should still be fresh fish coming in.
