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 should be at least a few fish pushing into the lower river on this weeks rain.
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.
The Trask gets a hatchery coho run, and some of these fish should be pushing into the lower river. This year is the first return of adult hatchery coho from the wild broodstock program and as such the run timing should extend further into fall.
Trask river levels and predictions are available here.
