Report: Flows are now at 450 CFS and should remain there for the next two weeks. They will drop them to 300 CFS on or around October 15th. Fishing has been good for September. The pulse brought some fish in and we will continue to see pods making their way upriver over the next few weeks. Recent trips have seen good numbers of fish in the 23-27" range coming to the net along with some half pounders. Salmon are getting on redds in the mainstem, so the spherical, orange offerings will be a good choice to throw behind them. Good nymphing flies are Rubberlegs, Copper Duracells, Olive Hotspots and Psycho Princes. Fish are pretty grabby right now, it is a good time to swing and skate. Flies that always work this time of year are Copper Beaded Assassins, black & chartreuse Hoh-Bo Spey. We've got guides available right now that can get you out, give us a call or you can go directly to our Trinity guide page and book a trip now.

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.
