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!

Crowds have been a little oppressive lately. #steelhead #weaverville #browntrout #flyfishing #simmsfishing #steeliegreen #galvanflyreels #scottflyrods #picoftheday #solitude

The Trinity has been producing some great number and even some nice Browns. Every year we debate whether or not the these browns are sea run or not.

Fishing was superb this week on the Trinity River and the catching was pretty decent, too. Days went by real quick and we seemed to hit the take out at dark each night, though we didn’t really need to. The river has been un-crowded so we’ve been able to fish just about any run that looked good – and well, they all looked and felt good so we fished them...

With coastal season beginning to fish and the rivers of the Lost Coast ripening up nicely, crowds have been light on the Trinity this week. Less bankies, less boats… more solitude. I like it!

I have a few dates (two recent cancellations) still open in January… 11, 16, 21 and February 10-13, 17-19, 25-27(late January & February can be an awesome time for...

Not to much going on in the way of weather. If you like nice sunny days in the middle of winter then this is the time to come and fish the Truckee River. High pressure is still parked off the coast of California keeping the days warm and the nights cold. Good reliable fishing for this time of year up here. Winter = big fish. When you catch fish in winter on...

Big change this past week has been the COLD weather!! Ice-in-the-guides cold. It may not be worth getting out at the crack o’ dawn-thirty?

Just prior to the cold snap we were seeing plenty of aggressive fish attacking swung flies. I took a day off and “fun fished” with my buddy AC and got lucky enough to connect with two nice wild fish on back-to-back casts...

The rain dances are working, keep it up! The Trinity River region received a solid amount of much needed rain these past few weeks.

These storms have been lining up perfectly, dropping impressive amounts of rain in short periods, but then letting up just long enough for the river to heal and drop back down and avoid blowing out. I’m simply amazed at the...
