Current River Conditions: The Trinity has been fishing great for Salmon! Yes! You can find these big' ol fish on a fly rod over the next few weeks at least! Highly recommended! Can you find brown trout and small to medium sized steelhead? Does a monkey eat bananas?

Ross Wilkerson has been over on the Trinity, playing with enormously powerful King Salmon that can break your fly rod. Definitely worth planning a day or two fishing this river over the next couple weeks at least!

Trinity River flows are a very comfortable 450 cubic feet per second. Excellent!!!

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: A variety of techniques, using your 8-9 wt rod for Salmon, or a more adaptable 5-6 wt fly rod for small steelhead and aggressive browns will tie you into fish. Suspending nymphs under an indicator, stripping buggers and leeches, swinging muddlers or PT nymphs will produce hook-ups! Even dry flies should be in the plan. Bring a parachute Adams! Hey! The King Salmon will eat nymphs suspended under indicators. What a blast!
