Spring Chinook fishing slowed on the Trask this week. The low flows have probably stalled migration up the river, and the fish that have been holding for awhile are getting difficult to entice a bite from. The Salmon/Steelhead Bobber Fishing Rule went into effect May 1st from the marker at Loren's drift up to Cedar Creek boat slide (See page 18 of the sport fishing regulations booklet for details).

Trout season opened in the streams on May 22nd and there are resident coastal cutthroat trout throughout the Trask basin, including the forks and sea-run cutthroat should be showing up. Many areas have bait restrictions in place so check the regulations for those and open areas before heading out.
