There is no retention of wild coho.
Fall Chinook season closes on December 1st, but there should be a last chance opportunity over the weekend as this weeks rains should bring some late run fish in. The bag limit is 1 wild adult Chinook per day and 2 for the season in the Tillamook basin in aggregate.
Hatchery coho are running on the Trask River and this weeks rains should bring in some fresh fish and provide good angling opportunity through the weekend and into next week.
The Trask River from the marker at the Dam Hole (MP 7 on Trask River Rd) up to Blue Ridge Creek is closed to angling until December 1. The NF Trask and SF Trask are closed to all salmon fishing.
The first confirmed few winter steelhead have been caught on the Trask already, but numbers will be very low until mid-December when this fishery normally gets started.
