Good fishing is happening at Lewiston Lake, and it will continue through the summer!
Lewiston Lake - Lewiston, CA (Trinity County)

Current Lake Conditions: Some days, the rainbows are on the surface chomping on Carpenter Ants. Other days, they chase crystal buggers. Expect hot sunny days through the coming week. Best to fish Lewiston in the early morning hours. The bit can be tough in the afternoons. Anglers fishing nymphs can do very well on Lewiston! Water conditions are alway good and there's no shortage of rainbows in this spring-creek-like lake!
Go check the fishing out on Lewiston. There are some seriously big rainbows here. Some go well over 22". Expect good fishing almost any day of the week!
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A productive technique is suspending #22 red zebra midges or Gidgets under a treated piece of poly yarn. A single BB shot will get the flies down deep. About 7-8 feet. 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.
