Idaho Fish Report

Spring Chinook are in the Trask. Fishing has slowed a little but there are still some fish being caught. Springers can be hard to entice a bite from especially when they've been holding for a while. Targeting first light can up the odds of success. The Trask does NOT get a hatchery summer steelhead release but is known to get some strays out of the Wilson River, and it sounds like a few of them have been getting caught. There has been an ongoing problem with litter at the hatchery hole, please pack out any trash you bring in.

Angling is restricted to fly fishing or bobber fishing from the marker at Loren's Drift (RM 9) up to Cedar Creek Boat slide (RM 10.9) from May 1 to July 31 (See Bobber Fishing Rule on page 18 of the regulation book).

Trout angling opened in the Trask basin May 22 and there are cutthroat trout throughout the fishery, which includes the North, South, and East forks (no bait allowed in the forks between May 22-Aug 31) and sea-run cutthroat should be showing up in tidewater.

The section of the Trask River 200 ft above and 900 ft below Gold Creek at Trask Hatchery will close to angling on July 16th.

Trask hatchery has some damage to the access road so anglers and visitors will need to park up top and walk down.
