Trinity River Fish Report for 5-27-2025
The pulse flows continue
Trinity River - Douglas City, CA

The pulse flows continue, but will be a more manageable height over the next month and a half. Generally, they will remain below 1,150 CFS over the next week and will drop through June. Some adult fish have entered the Klamath and may be able to make their way up in to the Trinity over the next few weeks. With some heat coming this next week, watch the water temps if you fish lower in the system. We should have a good idea of what the season will hold as we get into August and will report here at that time.

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.
