Fishing was slow on the Trask last weekend, despite a fair amount of effort. The Trask looks like it will be in decent shape over the weekend but may blow out on Monday before dropping back in the middle of next week.
The Trask is a mostly catch-and-release river for winter steelhead, as there are no hatchery releases, although it does get the occasional stray. There are wild steelhead (catch-and-release only) throughout the system. All wild steelhead must be released unharmed. Avoiding long fights and handling will reduce stress on released fish.
The forks should be fishable although a little low through the weekend but could be in good shape early to middle of next week. There are wild steelhead (catch-and-release only) throughout the open areas.
The North Fork Trask is open to steelhead fishing from the mouth to Bark Shanty Creek until March 31, 2023. It is closed to all fishing upstream of Bark Shanty Creek until Mary 22, 2023.
The South Fork Trask is open to steelhead angling from the mouth to Edwards Creek until March 31, 2023. It is closed to all fishing upstream of Edwards Creek until May 22, 2023
Cutthroat trout fishing in streams will reopen May 22, 2023.
Trask river levels and predictions are available here.
