Steelhead fishing was slow on the Trask last week due to the cold temperatures and lethargic fish, but there are more wild fish showing up and fishing should improve as the weather and water conditions allow. Heavy rains and snow melt are predicted for the North coast the next couple days which will probably blow the rivers out. However, it’s looking like they may be back in fishable shape by the weekend. All the usual techniques such as side drifting, float fishing, and pulling plugs or divers and bait, should be effective.
