The Nehalem River is still high and off color and being a large basin, it can take a long time to drop and clear. In addition, the only opportunity on the mainstem Nehalem will be wild winter steelhead (catch-and-release only) and numbers will be low this time of year. The winter steelhead run on the Nehalem peaks January through March.
