The Little Nestucca River joins the Nestucca River from the south just before it flows into the Pacific Ocean. Only the headwaters are in public ownership – being managed by the Forest Service – with most of the primary fishing areas located on private lands. The river offers some boat fishing opportunities with a boat ramp located at the Hwy 101 bridge. Most people fish for salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter.
NOTE: This river contains wild coho salmon that are listed as a Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act. Know your fish well if you decide to fish this river or any of its tributaries and help conserve this species.
