The Trask River is just getting started for spring Chinook. This early, the best fishing will be in tidewater but there have been a few caught at the hatchery. The past week's rain should move a few more fish in, but numbers will still be low until we get further into the run. The Trask does not have a release of hatchery summer steelhead but is known to get the occasional stray. Trout fishing will open on the Trask on May 22. Last updated 45/1/24.
