The river fished well over the weekend for those who got out. Yesterday fished well, the rain made the lower stretches a little dirtier, but those who stayed up top around Lewiston were rewarded with good conditions. The weekend is looking to be a good time to get out. It is Golden Stone time. Use a Solitude's TB Golden Stone, Mercer's Poxyback Golden Stone, or the Rolling Stone for your top fly. Mercer's Psycho Prince in purple or orange, Little Black Stones and Duracells will work for your dropper. Egg patterns will be a great choice if/when the river colors up. For the swing fisherman, it will be a good idea to put on your Skagit floating head with a tip to swing a black Burnt Chicken or Hoh Bo Spey. January is shaping up to be super! Give Bryan or Chris a call if you would like to experience a good year on the Trinity!

Access To the Trinity River
The Trinity has many publicly accessible areas with good wading opportunities during the steelhead season. Stop by the shop and we'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
Steelhead Fishing Can be Frustrating
These anadromous rainbow trout are known as the 'Fish of a Thousand Casts.' For good reason! The learning curve can be quite steep learning when and where to go, and what type of water to target. Our Professional Guide Staff has decades of experience guiding the Trinity River for steelhead. A day spent with one of our guides will get you up to speed much more quickly.
Recommended Equipment & Setups
Early Summer Run Steelhead on the Trinity River will take swung flies readily. Spey rods are becoming an increasingly popular method to swing flies. The Fly Shop's Signature Spey Rods are an economical way to get into a great Spey rig.
