Spring Chinook are in the Trask and there have been some fish getting caught in tide water as well as in the lower river (primarily at Loren's Drift and the Hatchery Hole). Overall fishing is slow to fair, but there have been some sporadic good bites. The Trask does NOT get a hatchery summer steelhead release but is known to get some strays out of the Wilson River, and it sound like a few of them have been getting caught by springer anglers this week.

Angling is restricted to fly fishing or bobber fishing from the marker at Loren's Drift (RM 9) up to Cedar Creek Boat slide (RM 10.9) from May 1st to July 31st (See Bobber Fishing Rule on page 18 of the regulation book).

Trout angling opened in the Trask basin May 22nd and there are cutthroat trout throughout the fishery, which includes the North, South, and East forks (no bait allowed in the forks May 22nd – Aug 31).

Trask hatchery has some damage to the access road so anglers and visitors will need to park up top and walk down.
