The Nestucca is in prime condition as of this writing and should fish through the weekend. Steelhead fishing can be a little sporadic in April, but there are still bright hatchery fish coming back. The Nestucca River has a wild broodstock hatchery run, meaning the hatchery steelhead here are from wild origin. As such they mimic the wild run timing and there will be bright hatchery fish available well into April. This will be one on the best bets for hatchery winter steelhead for the remainder of the season, and there also is still plenty of catch-and-release opportunity for wild fish.
