The Trinity River has had some great fishing reports lately

Current River Conditions:
Good fishing still happening. Pro TFS Guide Matt Dover reported in with great fishing a couple days ago! Crowds are gone because the fishing typically slows down at this time of year on the Trinity, but this March 2012 has been an exception. How long will the fun last? Can't imagine for much longer. For now, the Trinity is on the table as an option!
Hot Bugs:
Best fly patterns have not changed much over the past couple weeks. They include the #8 TB Golden Stone, Mercer's Poxy-back BH Golden Stone, #14 Red Copper John, Psycho Princes in various sizes and colors, #12-16 PT Nymphs. Egg patterns in pink, orange, peachy, salmon egg should be the fly box.

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.
