Current River Conditions: Fishing conditions continue to be great. It has been cold in the AM hours though! Some anglers are getting into numbers of steelhead while others have to work hard for a hook-up. Remember, steelhead are always on the move and can be elusive. The good news is more steelhead are on the way with good reports coming out of Willow Creek, some 62 miles to the west of Lewiston. These fish are headed for the upper Trinity and looking for your stonefly pattern! January looks like another great month on the Trinity!

Hot Flies: The Solitude Golden Stone in #8, #6 Black Rubber Legs and #14 Poxyback Hares Ear and purple #14-16 Psycho Prince. We can get you dialed in!

The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A variety of techniques, using your 8-9wt rod for Salmon, 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! The King Salmon will eat nymphs suspended under indicators. What a blast!

Road Conditions: Expect icy conditions in the AM and evening hours. Be very careful. Call 1-800.427.7623 for up to date Northern California Road Conditions. Here's a link to Cal-Trans Road Conditions: Click Here.
