Trinity Steelhead 15 Years, 10 Months ago
|
|
|
Has anyone fished the Trinity recently? I am heading up this weekend and plan on fishing between Lewiston and Junction City. Just wondering how it's fishing, flies, areas with some concentration of fish, etc. There's not much rain on the horizon so the fish should be staying put for a while. Any thoughts on best places? I'm pretty familiar with the river so if you said Bucktail, Dirty Bird, Poker Bar or Cemetery hole, Lime Point, I can get there.
Thanks,
Trev

on Oct 22. The river was low and clear. I did spot a few people fishing, but they were few and far between.
My local source says the salmoon count is way low, but steelhead are moving up the river from the Kalamth
Good Luck

Reports I'm getting is the river is low clear and tough fishing. Steelhead are there, but need to work for them. Have also heard it has the usual crowds. I too will be there this weekend for a first trip of the year. And hopefully will hook one. I plan on fishing somewhere between Lewiston and Helena. Yeah, I know, that's a lot of river, but I haven't got more pinpointed info on where the fish are, so gotta go find them.

I went one for two last week. I saw fish where I started so I stayed in that area. I used red copper john's and october caddis nymphs. The weather yesterday said rain starting Friday so it may all change.

I was up there last week and landed 4 of 6 that I hooked.For the first 3 days I was hooking 2 a day and the last 2 days I was swinging and had a few grabs.The fishing is challenging at best.Low and clear with light crowds.More like real steelheading.I had a great time and drank some awesome whiskey,Basil Hayden's.The best bourbon that has crossed these lips!

Young Grasshopper,
The Shepherd has just returned from the Trinity after several days and must warn you that the upper section of river has literally been overrun by a bunch of bobber pitchin', BMW driving, latte sipping, yuppies, most of whom can't cast nor wade worth a damn. They are without question, extremely proficient at scaring the living hell outta the fish!
The Living Legend of course found fish, and big numbers of fish mind you, with a disproportionately "Shepherdlike" percentage of gianormous ones.
The Shepherd would recommend you make sure you're the first person at either the Jack-knife riffle or the Mountain Goat Run at about 330am to beat the crowds. Otherwise expect lots of company!

You mean that short, bait pitching jackass in denial, that leaves endless trails of empty Pinot Noir bottles, banana peels, and maxipad wrappers everywhere he goes in between constantly pulling over to take a piss in every turnout and off every bridge????? Naw man he wasn't there yet! The Shepherd has been informed that the idiot in question may not come to CA this fall because he wants to learn to cast one of those two handers you're so fond of. Kinda ironic since most folks actually wanna learn to cast a one hander first! The Shepherd has also heard the rumor that he's finally gonna get rid of that red sissymobile and get a real car!
