Stream Enhancement, Education, Angling Opportunity
Our first spawning of Fall Chinook Broodstock for 2024 babies was on Oct 17th. We had a great mixture of fish for diversity of genetics. We will have several more spawning’s in the next month to catch the full run of fish.

These Fishermans maps are discontinued and are a legacy of the Nestucca River. The Nestucca River flows through the coastal range and 57 miles later ends up at the ocean in Pacific City. This river has always given great fishing opportunities throughout the years, with 11 boat ramps/slides and lots of public bank access above tide water.
The map was developed by fishermen and their local knowledge, experience, and memories of the 1950s and 60s. To this day, these fishing holes have kept their names through generations of sons and daughters who continue to fish these waters. Most of their forefathers have since passed but fishing memories continue on.
This map will not be found on the internet and has a special meaning to the community of the Nestucca Basin. The Nestucca Anglers would like to share it with you as we continue raising Fall Chinook for the future generations to come.

Nestucca Anglers released 108,000 August 1st. The fish went out to the Nestucca basin healthy and to size.
Special thank you to all the feeding volunteers that took care of the fish throughout the season.
We will start collecting the Broodstock for our 2023 offspring in September. Stay tuned on Facebook as we will keep you updated on our collection process.

On Tuesday July 4th 2023, Nestucca Anglers hosted a lunch for our local Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District team. NRFPD is dedicated to minimizing the effects of adverse incidents to life, property, and the environment through education, training, teamwork, and service delivery.
If you see firefighters off duty in uniform, walk up and thank them for keeping you and your community safe.
Nestucca Anglers would like to thank NRFPD and volunteers again for choosing to do what you do and for the sacrifices you make to protect us.
What an outstanding day!
Last Saturday over 250 volunteers came to Rhoades Pond to help the Nestucca Anglers fin clip over 100,000 Fall Chinook smolts.
The smolts will continue to be fed by volunteers and released into the Nestucca basin toward the end of August.
Thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors and contributors. It makes a difference.

(Cedar Creek Hatchery)
On Wednesday Feb 1st, Natural Resource & Agriculture students from Nestucca High School teamed up with Cedar Creek Hatchery staff and assisted with this years Summer Steelhead spawning. Egg takes from these fish are for production on both the Nestucca & Siletz rivers. Unspawned Summer Steelhead were also released in Cape Mears lake for angler opportunity.
The students also helped sort through the wild Winter Steelhead Broodstock but no fish were ready this week.
