Idaho Fish Report

The Nehalem basin opened to trout fishing on May 22nd. There is a lot of public access on the Nehalem and its tributaries and there should be coastal cutthroat trout throughout the basin. Last weekend's rain should have improved fishing and may have brought in some sea-run cutthroat. Concentrate on deep pools with cover, and you should find success. Many areas have bait restrictions in place so check the regulations for those and open areas before heading out.
