Lewiston Lake Fish Report for 2-15-2012
Lewiston Lake is fishing great! Lots of 12"-15" cruising rainbows
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions:
Cast to rainbows sipping emergers. Insect hatches consist of BWOs and a few Callibaetis. Midge hatches can make it impossible to catch these powerful rainbows. Can you tie a size 37 fly? Hard to catch fish when they are keying on #37 insects!
If you are fishing the Trinity River, Lewiston Lake is just a short, 5 minute, drive from the town of Lewiston. An ideal complement to a day on the Trinity, Lewiston Lake should be considered if you are fly fishing in the area!
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.
