Attention boaters: There is a boating obstruction/hazard upstream of Mail Creek on the Necanicum River (between the Hwy 26 bridge and Klootchy Park). This is a large log/debris jam blocking the river. Boaters should use extreme caution. Check the Oregon State Marine Board boater obstruction map here.

The Hwy 101 boat ramp on the Necanicum has been re-opened for angler access. The gate remains up but has a combination lock on it. Anglers can get the combination by calling the Tillamook District office at (503) 842–2741 and providing their name and ODFW Hunter/Angler ID number.

The Necanicum River hatchery steelhead run is just about over and numbers of hatchery fish in decent condition will be low. There is still catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the fishery and conditions are good as of this writing and should remain so through Saturday morning. The Necanicum drops and clears fairly quickly so this will be a good one to keep an eye on early next week after the rains subside as well.
