It is peak time for the hatchery winter steelhead run on the Necanicum, and fishing has been fair to good leading up to it. A major high-water event is predicted to hit the North Coast on Thursday and as a result many of the rivers won’t be fishable until the water drops. The Necanicum is a short basin which drops quickly, so it could fish be early next week, and there should be plenty of fish around when it does.
