Winter steelhead fishing on the Nehalem mainstem was fair the end of last week, but with rain in the forecast again it's possible conditions may be poor this weekend and into next week. There are no hatchery steelhead releases in the Nehalem, so this is mostly a catch-and-release fishery for wild steelhead which are throughout the fishery.
