The Trinity River fished pretty well last weekend but then seemed to get tougher and tougher for the later part of this week. Water down through Junction City was in great shape (until yesterday) holding good color and on a slow drop each day. There did not seem to be many fish around and the few that were biters were spread out.

Most guide boats I talked with that gave...

Flows on the upper Trinity River have dropped into fishable shape and the river is green and looking good. It’s still a bit big below Canyon Creek but the upper river from Lewiston to upper portions of JC is driftable. Best wading access is probably going to be in DC and Lewiston areas right now. The water was green up high but will be clearing the further downriver...

It looks like we will get a dry-ish break from the storm cycle this week and into next. Keep you eyes on the Trinity, as it’s often the first to come back into shape. The river is already on the drop and the weather is expected to stay cold this week, which means, no snow meltage to blow the river back out.

The way upper, in Lewiston, is fishable currently....

Expect Douglas City down to blow out for a while. Upstream is blown out now but will just need a few clear days to come back into shape. The Upper river has been crowded. There are fish around but with the blown out conditions it’s hard to get excited about.

The Trinity is coming back down after the most recent deluge. The way upper river, in Lewiston is in good shape at 313cfs and downstream, as the above graphs show, flows are very high but calming down. The Trinity usually drops into fishable shape quicker than any other major steelhead system so when it does, be ready to call out sick.

Fish will be scattered throughout the system, with Fall...

I was speaking with a buddy of mine, Aaron Grabiel, and he was saying these rain storms have been pulling in fish. Every Trinity guide I have talked to said it’s been tough but they each have had intermittent good fishing and some folks are blessed with finding a fresh push of fish. It looks like the Trinity will blowout Sunday or Monday, but hit it right and you could be a happy camper.

We are getting a lot more precipitation up north here than we’ve been used to the past few years. It’s stayed nice and cold for us too to keep some of that snow up in the higher elevations. As much as it hurts having to cancel trips in the winter due to rivers blowing out - It’s nice to know that this rain and snow is ensuring us a good spring and summer water...

Wow, the past few weeks on the Trinity have been extremely good to Nor Cal Fly Guides clients. While others have been working hard to find fish, we have consistently hooked a half a dozen...

Fished the Trinity last week with Cal Trout. We had a Ladies only group fishing Wednesday and Thursday.
It was TOUGH fishing
I caught two … 

Ryan Johnston Reports on 12.8.2016

This last week I have been bouncing my fishing venues around quite a bit from trout, to steelhead, to bass. It has been a fun week of switching out rods and techniques to put my clients into fish.

The Lower Sac trout fishing continues to be average for this time of year. The upper stretches near Sundial are starting to see less pressure and more people are now...
