The Trask River 200 feet above and 900 feet below Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery (which includes the "hatchery hole" closed to fishing July 16 and will remain closed until Oct. 15.

Cutthroat trout fishing should be fair to good, with fish spread through mainstem and forks of the river. Sea-run cutthroat are throughout the fishery at this point.

The Trask River opened to fall Chinook fishing Aug. 1 (up to the forks), Fish are present in the tidal portion of the river, with fair fishing opportunity. It will take some significant rain to move Chinook into the river in any numbers.

The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook (including bay), Kilchis, Miami, Wison and Trask rivers) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.

The Trask also has a hatchery coho salmon run, but like the Chinook those fish won't show up above tidewater in any numbers until we get some rain.
