Current River Conditions:
Releases out of Lewiston dam are 450 cfs. There's a few steelhead in the Trinity River between Pigeon Point and Lewiston, CA. It is early in the season, but solid reports of good to great fishing keep coming in. Some anglers are getting one fish, some four, some none! Daytime temperatures are warm, conditions are sunny and that is what makes fishing the Trinity during October distinctly different than December! There is never a bad time to fish the Trinity River!

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.
