: NESTUCCA RIVER: Summer steelhead angling is very slow. A few chinook are being caught in the river and tidewater, including on the Little Nestucca. Trolling herring near the mouth of the bay or fishing with bobber and eggs in upper tidewater are productive techniques. Chinook angling in the river is slow, but may improve as a few more enter the river after recent storms. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |
