NEHALEM RIVER:

The Nehalem mainstem still has some opportunity for catch and release on wild steelhead, but many of the fish will have spawned or be actively spawning at this point. Please be cautious of disturbing redds (spawning nest) or spawning fish.

NORTH FORK NEHALEM RIVER:

The North Fork Nehalem is well past its peak for winter steelhead, many fish will be spawned out or actively spawning. There are still a few broodstock hatchery fish returning, but numbers overall, and especially of bright fish, will be low.
