The mainstem Nehalem River should produce fair to good angling for steelhead for a few more weeks when conditions are conducive to angling. The north fork closes March 31.

Anglers who catch a steelhead or salmon with numbered tag(s) are encouraged to report catch information via the internet or by calling ODFW at 503-842-2741 and asking for Derek Wiley. All live tagged fish that are not legal to retain or are voluntarily not kept should be released quickly and unharmed with tags intact.
