The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Phil,

While staying away from the issues around AZB, on which I have an opinion that are not germane to this discussion, your comments on the Trinity River ring true. Last year the Trinity was a Disneyland fishey, there were many fish and they were cooperative. I had my best day ever steelhead fishing last year and will probably never repeat that day. I have always considered steelhead fishing to be tough and was excited to hook one fish. Last year on the Trinity that mystic seemed to sort of evaporated and multiple fish days came to be expected. This year reality has returned and it is back to steelhead fishing as it was, tough fishing. I will comtinue to fish the Trinity because I want to catch a sea run brown but my expectations are certainly lower this year.
