The Nestucca is just getting started for winter steelhead with a few early hatchery fish showing up, but this weekend’s freshet should bring in a push of fish. Once the river peaks and drops back into shape I expect there to be fish around.

Three Rivers got some hatchery steelhead back last week and with decent rain and high water predicted for this weekend; it could be a good bet.
