The Trask is in prime condition following last weekend’s rain but is dropping fast and may be a little on the low side by the weekend. The Trask is a mostly wild steelhead river (catch-and-release only for wilds) but is known to get some hatchery strays.

The North and South Forks of the Trask closed to fishing on April 1 to protect spawning wild steelhead and out-migrating juveniles.
