The Trask River is closed to angling from the marker at Dam Hole (MP 7 on Trask River Road) up to Blue Ridge Creek Sept. 1 – Nov. 30.

The Trask River 200 feet above and 900 feet below Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery (which includes the "hatchery hole" closed to fishing July 16 and will remain closed until Oct. 15.

The Trask does NOT have a release of hatchery summer steelhead but there are a few strays in the river with some being caught.

Cutthroat trout fishing should be fair to good, with fish spread through mainstem and forks of the river. Sea-run cutthroat are throughout the fishery at this point. Just remember no bait is allowed May 22-Aug 31 in the North, South and East forks.

The Trask River is opened to fall Chinook fishing Aug. 1 to Nov. 30 by regulation (up to the forks), but realistically there won't be Chinook salmon showing up in any real numbers until September or later depending on when the fall rains start.

The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook (including bay), Kilchis, Miami, Wison and Trask rivers) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.

The Trask also has a hatchery coho salmon run, but like the Chinook those fish won't show up above tidewater in any numbers until we get some rain.
