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 is dropping back into low and clear conditions for the weekend until more rain arrives next week. The hatchery steelhead run is mostly over on the Necanicum but there is still good catch-and-release opportunity for wild steelhead throughout the fishery. In low water using subtle terminal presentations, lighter line and stealthy tactics can up the odds of success.
