Randy at Confluence Outfitters Reports:

The Trinity has been classified to be “Dry Water Year” and the annual release schedule has been set and starts tomorrow. The flows out of Lewiston ramp up tomorrow to 500 CFS and peak May 5th & 6th at 8500 CFS and ramp down to 450 CFS through the early Fall. 8500 CFS will be nice to clear the river out and move things around, I’m just a little worried about...

Trinity river fly only water opened today! Had fun watching the crowds

From Nor Cal Fly Guides:

Today, 4hrs in, 4 grabs swinging, one 25" burly brown and a gorgeous 23" wild...

Blooming flowers and trees are offering a color show after their winter hibernation along with mild warmer days. Winter steelhead are continuing to reward those...

It’s been a while since I’ve updated a report – been an exciting time on the Trinity River. All in all the Trinity remains a decent option for late winter steelheading moving through February and into March. Fishing and water conditions have been improving each day since the big deluge of early February.

After flows around 9k pounded over lower Junction City,...

Aaron Gabriel reporting live from the banks of the Trinity:

“With a steelhead and a brown trout in the boat and multiple tugs the Trinity River is fishing well today!”

Thanks for the play by play Aaron!
