The Nehalem mainstem is still a little off color following last weekend’s rain but is on the drop and should come into shape late this week. The Nehalem mainstem is a mostly wild steelhead river without any hatchery releases, but there is plenty of catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead.
The upper mainstem Nehalem above the Hwy 26 bridge at Elsie closed to fishing on April 1 to protect spawning wild steelhead and out-migrating juveniles
