http://www.theflyshop.com/streamreport.htmCurrent River Conditions: Not much to report on this week folks. Fishing has been fair to good. Expect to find mostly brown trout and possibly an adult steelhead. It happens! Contact Pro Guide Lonnie Boles for the latest on what's good and what's not on the Trinity.
River flows are 1,000 cfs and a little tough to wade, but if you have a raft, drift boat or hire a guide you should be have a solid chance at finding a Steelhead or big Brown!
So, if you want to find great fishing near Lewiston, Ca. we recommend Lewiston Lake!
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A variety of techniques, using your 8-9wt rod for Salmon (in July-August), or a more adaptable 5-6 wt fly rod for small steelhead and aggressive browns will tie you into fish. Suspending nymphs under an indicator, stripping buggers and leeches, swinging muddlers or PT nymphs will produce hook-ups! Even dry flies should be in the plan. Bring a parachute Adams! Hey! In July-August, the King Salmon will eat nymphs suspended under indicators. What a blast!
Road Conditions: Road conditions are great! It's summer! Expect delays west of Redding as you approach the twisty turney road leading up to Buckhorn Summit. Serious road work going on! Sometimes the delays can be 30 minutes long. Call 1-800.427.7623 for up to date Northern California Road Conditions.
