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: The salmon fishing has been good! Ross Wilkerson has been over on the Trinity, playing with enourmously powerful King Salmon that can break your fly rod. Definitley worth planning a day or two fishing this river over the next couple weeks at least!
Trinity river flows are 1,770 CFS, gradually coming down to a very comfortable and wadable 450 CFS by 7/26/12.
While fishing the Trinity this summer, consider fishing Lewiston Lake, which is far from an alternative, but a destination that offers great fishing!
!
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: Wait for the flows to drop. Even at 3,220 CFS in the forecast on May 31st, conditions are too high for wading. But, a boat can place you on some of the flat stretches between Lewiston and Pigeon Point were big brown trout can be found!! Bring a Deep-7 and Clousers! Don't forget a boat!
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.
