Spring Chinook fishing in the Nestucca has been slow so far but there are some fish being caught both in the Bay and in the lower river. The Little Nestucca also gets a release of hatchery spring Chinook and those fish should be showing up as well.‌

The Nestucca also gets a release of hatchery summer steelhead and that run should be starting.
