Current River Conditions:
Releases out of Lewiston dam are 450 cfs. There's a few steelhead moving through the waters of the upper Trinity River near Junction City, CA. Some anglers are finding steelhead and some are not. The fish are here today, up river tomorrow. September is the beginning of the fall run of steelhead. Expect reports to improve in the days and weeks to come! Plan on working for the hook-up! We think the time spent plying the riffle and runs of the Trinity is time well spent! The month September offers a warm, short sleeved, wet wading steelhead journey! There is no better time to skate a top water fly like an SO Skater or a Natural Ska-Opper than right now. Witnessing a big head chasing your skated dry is euphoric!

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Bring fresh, new tippet. 1X and 2X. Leaders should be tapered to 0x if you want to land a super hot Trinity Steelhead. Search the tail-outs and the very upper edges of the riffles and glides. Bring a Intermediate, Slow and Medium VersiLeader in 7' lengths for swinging to steelhead. Suspending nymphs of all kinds under an indicator is a very popular and effective approach to presenting a fly or two.
River Fact:
Sad to say, but Grateful Dead singer Jerry Garcia's father drowned in the Trinity River. While on vacation with his family near Arcata in Northern California in 1947, his father went fly-fishing in the Trinity River. Upon entering he slipped on a rock, plummeting into the deep rapids of the river. By the time he was pulled from the water, he had already drowned.
