The Trask River remained high through last weekend and with heavy rains predicted for Thursday will probably blow out again. Once it does come back in shape there should be opportunity for winter steelhead and hatchery coho. The hatchery coho run is winding down a bit as many fish are getting close to spawning but there are still some bright fish. Steelhead are just getting started and will peak January through March. There are no hatchery steelhead releases on the Trask, so it is mostly a catch and release fishery for wild steelhead.

There is no retention of wild coho.

Fall Chinook season closed December 1st. There is no retention or angling for Chinook salmon allowed the rest of the year.
