The Trask jumped up over a foot on Monday night, but had already started to drop as of this report and should be back in shape soon and fish well through the weekend. It’s a little early for steelhead on the Trask, but there are definitely a few around and opportunities should improve as we get into January and conditions impove. All the usual techniques such as side drifting, float fishing, and pulling plugs or divers and bait, should be effective.

Anglers are reminded that fall Chinook season closes Dec. 31.
