Spring Chinook fishing on the Trask has been fair to slow. There are fish throughout the system. Anglers are reminded that, 200 feet upstream and 900 feet downstream of Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery (which includes the Hatchery hole) is closed to angling July 16 – Oct. 15.

Trout season opened May 22, and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. Anglers are reminded that no bait is allowed in the North, South, and East forks of the Trask through August 31.

Summer steelhead angling is slow to fair, with relatively small numbers of fish available.

Anglers are reminded that from Cedar Creek boat slide (River Mile 10.9) downstream to marker at Loren’s drift (River Mile 9.0) from May 1 – July 31, angling is restricted to fly-fishing or salmon bobber fishing (see diagram on page 16 of the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations).
