Big Nestucca River

Freshwater

Tips

September '25

Jackson's Drift: If the Nestucca River is under 7', Jackson drift above the mouth of Three Rivers near Hebo is a good bet. We bank fished it from the north side of the river.

Bank access or not? Jackson's Drift (aka Preacher's Drift) was open for bank access when I checked early this Fall 2025. Possibly the farmer closes it down when the cattle are grazing in that area? I knocked on his door to ask but nobody answered. I'll keep you updated whenever possible.

Fish the fast water at the head all the way down to the mouth of Three Rivers. Also, fish on down to the logs. Water height will dictate which portion to fish. In doubt? Visit our Hebo Tackle Shop/Deli before you head up there.

Fishing the general area across from the mouth of Three Rivers is usually best for Nestucca Winter Steelhead.

Is the Big Nestucca River Too Crowded for Bank Fishing?

Starting with tidewater from Pacific City up to Cloverdale...

Try above the Woods bridge. There's plenty of pull-outs above the last house. When the river pulls away from the road all the way up to Cloverdale...

Don't be afraid to ask the Dairy Farmers for permission.

Lastly, there's great bank access at Cloverdale below the boat ramp which is behind the shops. You'll need a special pass to fish here...

Hebo Sporting Goods Tackle Shop might have this recreational access pass available. They do carry the Tillamook County Parking Pass.

When you get up into freshwater... Dairy Farm permission still applies to the lower river as well as up high. Seems you need to go way up high for more bank access which is great if the lower river is too dirty to fish or for other reasons.

Ask permission from non-farmer land owners as well.

Checking out new areas like these at low water levels is a good way to spot tackle-grabbing snags before fishing!
