TRASK RIVER: Winter steelhead, spring Chinook
The Trask steelhead run is winding down but there is still some opportunity and a few fish around. Many steelhead will be actively spawning or already spawned out. There are no hatchery releases on the Trask, so it is mostly a catch and release fishery, although it is known to get an occasional stray.
The North and South Forks of the Trask closed to angling on April 1.
There are no reports of spring Chinook being caught in the Trask yet, but they should start showing up by next month.
Trask hatchery has some damage to the access road so anglers and visitors will need to park up top and walk down. Last updated 4/21/26.
