On the Water
Fishing Wheeler
Wheeler is perfectly situated to access the Nehalem Bay and its rich river system, a prime spot for coastal anglers. We focus heavily on Fall Chinook and Coho salmon as they enter the Nehalem River and its tributaries in the autumn. Come winter, the Nehalem becomes a premier destination for Winter Steelhead, offering exciting and challenging fishing. The bay itself can also be a productive area for salmon, especially during certain tidal phases and migration periods. A charter out of Wheeler provides an authentic Oregon coast fishing experience, with easy access to diverse and productive waters.
