The Trask River 200 feet above and below Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery (which includes the hatchery hole) is closed to angling July 16 to Oct. 15.
The Dam hole (MP 7 on Trask River Rd up to Blue Ridge Creek) is closed to fishing Sept. 1 to Nov. 30.
The Trask River opened for fall Chinook on Aug. 1, and there are some fish showing up in tidewater, but it will take a good amount of rain to push fish into the river.
Due to a below average forecast the bag limits for wild Chinook salmon have been reduced. See the Regulations update section above for details.
Cutthroat trout are throughout the Trask River. Fish are dispersed throughout the basin, so there is plenty of opportunity available.
