Most of the hatchery run on the North Fork Nehalem is done but there are still some wild broodstock hatchery fish coming in. Although numbers are low there are some of these fish being caught. There’s also catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead, and the wild fish were on the move last weekend. The North Fork should fish through Friday but may be high and off color for the weekend.
