Lewiston Lake Fish Report for 1-7-2012
Better still water fishing is unlikely to be found outside of Lewiston Lake!
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions:
Not much has changed on Lewiston Lake over the past week. We still have sunny, warm weather that is driving decent insect hatches and great fly fishing. The fat rainbows of spring-creek like Lewiston have been hankering for #18-20 Midge patterns, #4-6 leeches in black or olive. Bring a few #16 pheasant tail nymphs since BWOs are coming off the water almost daily!
You should have a selection of fly lines when fishing this lake. We recommend floating line for indicators and dry flies, RIO's AquaLux Intermediate Sink Fly Line for swinging and stripping flies at middle depths, and RIO's Deep 7 Full Sink Line for fishing streamers and leeches deep and fast.
The Trinity River Fish Hatchery is located at the foot of Lewiston Dam. A visit here is very educational and the numbers of steelhead and salmon climbing the steps into the hatchery is really impressive.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
You can't go too small. Can you? When using indicators, the takes can be difficult to see and detect, and then the takes can be electric. Successful indicator anglers keep the flies in the water, all the way to the backing, then low and slow retrieve. Sink tip fly lines allow anglers to retrieve leeches, buggers and small nymphs fast or slow. This lake is best fished from a motorized boat, pram or pontoon boat. Float tubes are fine if you are okay with walking back up to the parking lot after the slow current of Lewiston pushes you to the southern end of the lake.
