Fishing was slow on the North Fork over the weekend, but picked up a little early in the week. As of this writing the North Fork was still in good shape with a tint of green, but will most likely be getting low and clear by the weekend. Although the hatchery run may be slightly past its peak, there is still plenty of opportunity to catch both hatchery and wild fish (catch and release only for wilds). Last updated 1/20/21.
The mainstem Nehalem is finally dropping into shape and should fish, but still have good color by the weekend. There are no hatchery releases on the mainstem, so it is a mostly wild fish river (catch and release only). There should be fish throughout the system.
