The Nestucca peaked at 13.49 ft. last Thursday, but was dropping back into shape by Monday. This is the time of year to be on the Nestucca and there should be brood stock hatchery fish and wild fish throughout the system. All the usual techniques such as side drifting, float fishing, drift fishing, or pulling plugs or divers and bait should be effective. During high water use brighter colors and larger presentations.

Three Rivers hatchery fish should be winding down this time of year, but Cedar Creek hatchery recycled 53 steelhead to Pacific City on Feb 1, and reported that the fish were still in really good shape. This small tributary will drop and clear much quicker than the Nestucca and could be a good bet for bank angling this week.
