Fishing has been good at Lewiston Lake but the fish are on the move so you'll need to find them
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Lewiston Lake is created by Lewiston Dam on the Trinity River. It is used for trans basin diversion to the Sacramento River and flood control, as well as for hydroelectric generation.
Current Lake Conditions: Fishing has been good most days. Knowing where these fish are is the key to a bent fly rod on Lewiston. Callibaetis are on the move and rainbow trout can be observed scarfing the duns off the surface in the late morning, early afternoon. Fishing good!
The Fly Shop's ? Tips: When using indicators, the takes can be difficult to see and detect. Successful indicator anglers keep the flies in the water, sometimes letting the drift extend 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 south of the boat ramp.
Lake Fact: Created by Lewiston Dam, Lewiston Lake is used as a diversion storage area, connected to the Lower Sacramento river via underground tunnels. Lewiston's water is used for hydro electric generation and flood control.
