TRASK RIVER: Spring Chinook
The Trask gets a run of hatchery spring Chinook and angling effort has been picking up below the hatchery, and there have been some confirmed catches. Numbers of fish above tidewater will probably be low, but some rain this week might get a few more on the move.
The North and South Forks of the Trask closed to angling on April 1.
Angling is restricted to fly fishing or bobber fishing from the marker at Loren's Drift (RM 9) up to Cedar Creek Boat slide (RM 10.9) from May 1st to July 31st. (See Bobber Fishing Rule on page 18 of the regulation book).
Trask hatchery has some damage to the access road so anglers and visitors will need to park up top and walk down. Last updated 5/13/26.

TRASK RIVER: Winter steelhead, spring Chinook
No new reports. The Trask steelhead run is winding down. Many steelhead will be actively spawning or already spawned out and there are very few bright fish left.
The North and South Forks of the Trask closed to angling on April 1.
There are no reports of spring Chinook being caught in the Trask yet, although there has been a little effort already. The fish should start showing up anytime now.
