Reports continue of good fishing happening on the Trinity above the Cedar Flat bridge up through Lewiston. Pay attention to the water temps if you are heading below Junction City as the daily temps right above the North Fork confluence eclipse 65 F daily. Now would be a good time to swing a skater. These are summer run fish, so they will eat most of what you serve up to them, Duracells, Rubberlegs, Olive Hotspots and Bird's Nests will all work. Keep an eye on the temps if you are fishing below Douglas city. We have guide availability if you would like to get a taste of fair weather steelheading!

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.
