Fishing has been slow to fair on the Trask River, for both fall Chinook and coho, but there are fish in the river and fishing should improve throughout the month. Bobber fishing bait, back-bouncing, back-trolling plugs or divers and bait, or casting spinners can all be effective methods.

Anglers are reminded that the dam hole (MP 7 on Trask River Rd up to Blue Ridge Creek) is closed to angling Sept. 1 - Nov. 30, and 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.
