Lewiston Lake Fish Report for 1-31-2012
Fishing on Lewiston has been great
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions:
Can't say there a lot of big fish being caught, but that will change by spring when better insect hatches conjure up the big bows that are holding down deep, probably eating smaller, juvenile fish.
Lewiston is just the perfect solution to avoiding a crowded day on the Trinity River.
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.
