The Nestucca didn't drop as quickly as expected last week and was still a little high over the weekend. The color was decent and there was plenty of effort, but it should really be getting into prime fishing condition this week. There is good opportunity for hatchery steelhead and catch and release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the basin
