There is plenty of public access on the Necanicum off Hwy. 101 and Hwy. 26. This small stream has resident and sea-run coastal cutthroat trout throughout the fishery and has a lot of downed wood which trout love to use as cover. The Necanicum is very low, but concentrate on deep pools with cover, and you should find success.

Fall Chinook season officially opened August 1st, but there won't be any showing up in the river for a while yet (probably not until fall rains come). A few should be showing up in the estuary, however. The bag limit for wild adult Chinook is 1 per day and 2 per season as part of the daily salmon and steelhead bag limit. See the regulation updates online for more details.
