Three Rivers
Open for adipose fin-clipped spring chinook, adipose fin-clipped summer steelhead and cutthroat trout through July 15.
All regulations listed in the 2013 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations will remain in place through the end the season. This includes the recent anti-snagging gear restrictions that prohibit leaders longer than 36 inches, and limit anglers to a single point hook with a gap 3/8-inch or less.

Trask River
The "hatchery hole" - the section of the Trask River located 200 feet above and 900 feet below its confluence with Gold Creek - will remain open to fishing through July 15.

Bag limits, guidelines and closed areas remain the same and are described in the 2013 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations.
