The Trask is a mostly catch-and-release river for winter steelhead, as there are no hatchery releases, although it does get the occasional stray. The Trask was just about to come into shape but is predicted to go back up Wednesday night and Thursday, which will have it on the high side of good conditions for the weekend again. The forks may fish well this week. There should be wild steelhead (catch-and-release only) throughout the system.

All wild steelhead must be released unharmed. Avoiding long fights and handling will reduce stress on released fish.
