No reports of fall Chinook being caught in the lower Trask yet, but with fish present at Memaloose for the past several weeks a fair amount of rain last weekend we expect a few fish to start sneaking in.

Fishing for steelhead is fair to good. There are excellent numbers of fish throughout the system, with the highest concentrations now in the upper river. Last weekend’s rains and cooler water temperatures should have these fish getting active.

Angling for cutthroat should be fair to good, sea-runs should be throughout the system. Try casting spinners or streamer flies in areas with cover, or dead drifting small presentations.

Due to a wetland restoration project between the tidewaters of the Trask and Wilson Rivers, public access to the Wilson River tidewater from the end of Goodspeed road is currently closed.
