The Nestucca is high and off color as of this writing but is on the drop and may be fishable by late Thursday or Friday. It should be in prime condition for the weekend and after such a long low water period I’m cautiously expecting the fishing to be good. The Nestucca River has a wild broodstock hatchery run, meaning the hatchery steelhead here are from wild origin. As such they mimic the wild run timing which peaks now through March. This will be one on the best bets for hatchery winter steelhead for the remainder of the season
