Winter steelhead fishing picked up the past week on the Nestucca with some good catches being reported. It is on the rise and may get off color, but should be fishable over the weekend and in prime shape by early next week. There is good opportunity for hatchery steelhead and catch and release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the fishery. The upper Nestucca River, upstream of Moon Creek, closes for fishing on April 1 to protect spawning fish and out-migrating juveniles so Sunday is the last day for this portion of the river. It will reopen on May 22.
