Description

Abstract: Neskowin Creek is a small Pacific Ocean tributary containing 23 miles of production waters with no estuary. It produces resident and anadromous cutthroat trout, winter steelhead, and coho, fall chinook, and chum salmon. The stream was stocked with hatchery fish in the past but is being managed for wild fish now. It presently receives light angling pressure, but this will probably increase. There are no special angling restrictions. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of all salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Neskowin Creek for wild fish of all species.
