I fished the Naselle into the mid-2000’s. Fishing was great at times.

My old man started fishing it and the Gray(s) about 1970 through the early 90’s. He and his buddy had some fantastic trips over there through the decades.

Pops hit the Nemah around March-81 and had his most memorable afternoon of big native winter fishing ever. Only landed the smallest fish he hooked (and saw) and it was 17-1/2. Had both a hen over 20# and a buck over 24# both beach themselves on the opposite side of the creek, flip/flop and tangle-up in a root wad and break the leader before he could get across the creek and recover them! He ran out of leaders in his Pip’s from the fish taking his straight drifted eggs and burning into a brush pile or log jag. The fish were fine bright, having just came in on the tide. He was physically exhausted after 4hrs and 15 leaders he said. I experienced a similar situation in the late 90’s on the Dickey, but the fish weren’t big.
