The mainstem Nehalem doesn’t have any hatchery steelhead releases, but there should be wild steelhead available for catch-and-release fishing. The Nehalem should be in prime shape this weekend as flows are getting low and would be a good bet for those not looking for hatchery fish. All wild steelhead must be released unharmed. Avoiding long fights and handling will reduce stress on released fish.
