The Trinity is fishing well after the big rain we had a few weeks ago. Beautiful weather over the last week or so, and with the Klamath still reorienting after dam removals, there are plenty of anglers trying their luck. There are fish spread all over from Lewiston down to Pigeon Point. Expect more traffic the farther up river you go, so if you want to find some solitude and a fresh up runner fish Junction City and below. If you don’t mind fishing with a little company, then check out Douglas City and above.
There’s more rain in the forecast this week with 2 to 3 inches forecast and even some snow in the mix, so be prepared for the river to come up. You might still be able to fish up higher in the system, but bring your warmest layers and a good rain coat! Next week should be great after this rain shuffles the fish around a little and maybe pushes some early winter fish up.
Youll find fish under the indicator on stoneflies, traditional steelhead nymphs and smaller attractors. If she’s clear, go smaller, but if she colors up with the new rain, size up your presentations. Fish are still responding well to the swing on type 3 and 6 sink tips depending on the run depth. As the water temps cool, slow and low will pick up fish on the swing all winter. Fish Hoh Bo Speys and Silver Hiltons in clear water and size up to larger patterns if the flows Come up.
