Idaho Fish Report

Summer steelhead fishing is picking up with fair numbers of fish entering the River. Water is low and clear, so concentrate effort in the early morning and late evening, and use lighter gear and small presentations to entice more bites.

Sea run cutthroat fishing is fair to good with the best fishing being in tidewater and the lower river.

Spring Chinook is slowing down. Bobber and bait is the best bet. Anglers are reminded that the Trask River from 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. Steelhead fishing is fair, and should start to pick up with the recent rains and cooler temps.

Anglers are reminded that gear restrictions took effect May 1 from the Cedar Creek wooden boat slide to the marker at the Lorens Drift wooden boat slide site. Trout angling should be fair.
