Current River Conditions:
Steady releases out of Lewiston Dam are 450 CFS (Cubic Feet per Second). Water quality is great and the fishing is good! We are pretty sure it's going to be a great season on the Trinity this fall and winter. So what's working you ask? Red Copper Johns (They always work in early Fall), TB Solitude Stones, Clown Eggs and Shrimp Pink Micro Spawns. On a sunny day, throw something small like a #16 Pheasant Tail Nymph or a Black Micro Mayfly. Seriously!

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.
