Current River Conditions:
This just in! Flows on the Trinity will increase! The Bureau Of Reclamation will provided high flow releases out of Lewiston dam for the Hoopa tribe and the ceremonial navigation of the Trinity River by tribal members in hand made dug-out canoes. Starting August 28th, flows will increase, topping out at 2,650 cfs! Flows of 450 cfs will return September 1st. Will this high water event bring in steelhead?
Today, releases out of Lewiston Dam are 450 cfs. The salmon fishing has been great! Fly Shop guide Ross Wilkerson has been fishing on the Trinity and getting into some of the big Kings around Lewiston. They are very big fish on a fly rod! We recommend a day on the Trinity River with Ross in order to best experience this unique fly fishing episode that is part of the summer season on the Trinity.

The Fly Fishing Only Section, above the Old Bridge located in Lewiston, CA. on the Trinity River is fishing great! Nymphing with Zebra Johns #16-18, Poxy Back PMDs #16-18, Hare's Ear Nymph #14-16 will procure hook ups! We are not talking adult steelhead here, but 1/2 pounders, a few resident rainbows and brown trout! Swing Zack's Zugger or a Silver Bugger for aggressive Brown Trout.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Bring light fly rods, like the 2wt. or 4wt. Leaders for dry flies should extend 10' to 5x. Monofilament. Anglers will find stripping, swinging, suspending flies will produce lots of action in the river near the town of Lewiston. Anglers can park at the Old Bridge and walk down stream, finding rifle after run after pool to cast flies into and find fighting fins. Heavier rods should be used for throwing sinking lines, like a 6 or 7wt.
