Current River Conditions: It's over for now. Flows will come up to 2,500 CFS by Sunday April 29th. The fishing won't be any good for a month or so at best. Better off fishing Lewiston Lake, which is far from an alternative, but a destination that is in it's prime at this time of year.

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. Contact us about the Trinity River!

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.
