Fall Chinook fishing opened on the Trask River Sept. 16. We haven’t had many reports yet, but with the recent rains, there are probably a few fish sneaking in; both Chinook and hatchery coho. Bobber fishing bait, back-bouncing, back-trolling plugs or divers and bait, or casting spinners can all be effective methods.

Anglers are reminded that the dam hole (MP 7 on Trask River Rd up to Blue Ridge Creek) is closed to angling Sept. 1 - Nov. 30, and 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.
