Trinity River Fish Report for 4-17-2012
Fishing on the Trinity River has been fun for smaller juvenile steelhead and salmon
Trinity River - Douglas City, CA

The Trinity River is the major tributary to the Klamath River, and stretches 110 river miles from Lewiston Dam downstream to its confluence with the Klamath at Weitchpec.
Current River Conditions:
Insect hatches of March Browns and a few #16 Olive Caddis will keep you looking for rising fish. Seems like the best way to find those bruiser Brown Trout is to hunt for them sipping off the surface.
In case you don't know, the Fly Only Section is located from the Old Bridge in Lewiston, CA. upstream to with-in 250ft of the dam. This section is seasonal and currently open as of April 1st through the summer.
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.
