The Trask gets a run of hatchery spring Chinook and angling effort has been picking up below the hatchery, but it doesn't sound like much is being caught. Numbers of fish above tidewater will probably be low for another couple weeks unless we get some rain.

The North and South Forks of the Trask closed to angling on April 1.

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).

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