Trask River - Tillamook , OR (Tillamook County)

No reports of fall Chinook being caught in the lower Trask yet, but with fish present at Memaloose for the past several weeks they should be sneaking in anytime. It’ll will probably take a good freshet to move them above the head of tide.

Summer steelhead fishing is slow. Water is low and clear, so concentrate effort in the early morning and late evening, and use lighter gear and small presentations to entice more bites. There are fish throughout the system.

Angling for cutthroat should be fair to good, sea-runs should be throughout the system. Try casting spinners or streamer flies in areas with cover, or dead drifting small presentations.

Due to a wetland restoration project between the tidewaters of the Trask and Wilson Rivers, public to the Hospital Hole on Trask tidewater is currently unavailable.

WILSON RIVER: steelhead, cutthroat No reports of fall Chinook being caught in the lower Wilson yet, but with fish present at Memaloose for the past several weeks they should be sneaking in anytime. It’ll will probably take a good freshet to move them above the head of tide.

Fishing for steelhead is fair to good. There are excellent numbers of fish throughout the system, with the highest concentrations now in the upper river. The river is still very low, but last weekend’s rains and cooler water temperatures should have these fish getting active.

Angling for cutthroat should be fair to good, sea-runs should be throughout the system. Try casting spinners or streamer flies in areas with cover, or dead drifting small presentations.

Due to a wetland restoration project between the tidewaters of the Trask and Wilson Rivers, public access to the Wilson River tidewater from the end of Goodspeed road is currently closed.
