http://www.dfw.state.or.usTrout season opened May 22, and recent surveys by ODFW found good numbers of cutthroat in the basin. Sea run cutthroat are throughout the system. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. Anglers are reminded that no bait is allowed in the North, South, and East forks of the Trask through Aug. 31.
Summer steelhead angling is slow, with relatively small numbers of fish available.
The Trask River doesn’t open above tidewater (Hwy. 101 bridge) until Sept. 16, and anglers need to remember that the dam hole (MP 7 on Trask River Rd up to Blue Ridge Creek) is closed to angling Sept. 1 - Nov. 30.
Anglers are reminded that, 200 feet upstream and 900 feet downstream of Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery (which includes the Hatchery hole) is closed to angling July 16 – Oct. 15.
