I fished with Kevin from Alameda on Sunday, it was Kevins first time on the Trinity and his first Steelhead experience. Kevin landed two nice adult Steelhead and had a few other incounters, he caught the Steelhead Stoke as well!

If you’re not interested in the Trinity there are other options that will soon be available on the Northern California Coast for fresh chrome and if Steelhead aren’t your thing there are Trout options as well, Lewiston Lake continues to fish well for Rainbow’s throughout the winter and the Lower Sac in Redding is always a good choice for Trout.

I fished with Bill and Robert from Danville on Thurs and Fri. Still plenty of fish around and even with the heavy pressure most anglers still seem to scratch out some fish. We have been getting rain over the last couple of days but not enough to change water conditions much. We are expecting some heavier rains Sat afternoon and night, maybe enough to add some volume and color to the Trinity.

Fishing continues to hold strong for Fall fish and should be good through the Holidays at which point we should start to see the arrival of our Winter run.

I guided Scott from Montery on Fri and we had a great day of fishing despite the heavy pressure.We swung up 3 Steelhead on the Spey rod fishing small traditional patterns and another 6 or more on the indicator. The water remains low and clear so a stealthy approach and good presentations go a long way in hooking fish right now.
