Along with the remaining run of Chinook still in the Tillamook system, Steelhead have now started to come in. The numbers are not huge by any means but they are being caught. Over the last week there have been about a dozen or so fish caught. Again that is along with some Chinook that are still present. What a great time to be out fishing! Bring a rod of each and spend the day on the Wilson River. I've heard the Nestucca has been producing Steelhead as well. All for now...report more as I hear.

The rains have settled down and the Wilson River is in prime shape. At 10pm it's sitting at 4.9 and with no rain the last couple days I'm sure it's going to be a perfect color as well. And lets not forget about the Trask River or the Kilchis. Both of these rivers will be in prime shape and color too. If it's Steelhead you're after look for the NF Nehalem. Focus on the hatchery and below the falls. Right now the NF is at 32" and is starting to clear. Early in the week it was a bit higher and had more color and with the rains, brought up a nice batch of fish. My buddy is going down tomorrow and I know I'll be getting a report so til tomorrow good luck to everyone who goes. Fish On!

With the rains now letting up the coastal rivers this week are going to explode with fish. This could be the best week of fishing since the rains came and brought up the water. Fish have been on the move since then and as the water settles down, so will the fish. Hit your favorite spot and have at it. 2 weekends ago before the rivers blew out of shape the Wilson was at prime level and my buddy Randy hit 2 fish in 2 days. A beautiful 25 lb hen stuffed with eggs, and a 30 lb buck. both really nice fish. As things settle down I look for it to be lights out again. I have created a Facebook page for anyone interested. I have decided instead of posting the pics here it's a lot easier to post on Facebook. This site will still continue to have the reports and eventually you will see a shopping cart either on this site or Facebook. I hope this info helps and look forward to hearing some feedback to anyone that wants to share. Send me your pics, I'll post them!
Thanks for tuning in and tight lines!

After a long, long wait for the Wilson to get in shape, the time has finally come. Right now the Wilson River is running at 5.1 and holding. The graph predicts a slight rise and fall over the weekend, but I think it will fish just fine. At this point, I think the color would be most important. If the color is running more clear than usual, go with a smaller presentation and longer leader. I don't think that will be a problem though. The river has been on the high side over the last 2 weeks at least so I think this weekend will be money. Actually today I think would be the best day in a long time. I look to see many fish caught today. But for those who fish the weekend, get out there. It should be a good show. Fish should be loaded in all the slots from top to bottom. My favorite drift being from Mills Bridge to Sollie Smith Bridge.
Hope to hear of lots of fish being caught ...and good luck! Tags: fishing reports | trask | Nehalem | steelhead | steelhead fishing | fishing for steelhead | wilson | kilchis | tillamook Hits: 150 | Read more... |

Fishing right now on the NF Nehalem is out of sight. When the conditions are on, so is the fishing. In great numbers. It's peak run is right now, so the numbers hitting the trap are huge. I've been down twice over the last 3 weeks bringing home fish both times. The magic number on the NF Nehalem seems to be 40". That was the best day I've seen down there with at least 50 fish being caught. There were fish all over the place with many getting the limit. I'm still waiting on the Wilson River to fall into shape. Once it does I look for it to go nuts as well. The run on the Wilson should just be heating up. We will see. Friends fished the Sandy today, but I haven't heard back yet on that. More to come. Until then, good luck fishing and I hope for many limits.
