Report:  These early season fish are super grabby, and are a ton of fun to target with a spey rod. With colder water coming down through the system, the fish are continuing to migrate upstream and into the Trinity River. Swinging flies and dead drifting nymphs will both be productive tactics for these fish. Moving into early fall, we are hoping that the steelhead fishing only gets better!
