Jetty Fishery is a fantastic local family-owned business that provides access and resources for fishing in Nehalem Bay and its surroundings, complete with boat and cabin rentals.
Just a two-minute boat ride across Nehalem Bay, the fishery offers a ferry service from 7am to 6pm daily to and from Nehalem Bay State Park. The fee for a ride is $10. You can either call ahead at 503-368-5746 (ideally 48 hours in advance) or simply wave to the other side to catch a boat when you arrive at the east side of the south spit of Nehalem Bay State Park. In the summer months, keep an eye out for the yellow dock with a giant American flag waving across the river and wave in that direction—they'll be happy to pick you up.
