General Information: Lots of fish...even more people. The crowds on the Trinity are horrendous, especially in the Junction City area. If you want to fish alone, go somewhere else. That said, the fishing on the Trinity has been unbelievable in the Junction City area; if you can find a place to throw a line, there's a good chance there may be a fish there. There are fewer fish in the upper river above Douglas City, although hopefully rains forecasted for this weekend will spread the fish out a little. Lots of moss in the river from Lewiston to Steel Bridge, making the fishing difficult in that area.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: Flows are at 300 cfs, and the river is VERY crowded. If you like to fish alone, go somewhere else. If you choose to brave the crowds, try to smile. Good luck.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??If you like to fish alone, we'd recommend steering clear of the Trinity during October and November. The steelhead fishing will most likely be great, but you can expect to see lots of anglers, both wading and drifting. Fortunately, the cold winter months of December, January, and February, will send most of the fair-weather anglers home, leaving the river (and it's wild winter-run steelhead) to the die-hards.
