Report: The1,200 CFS flows will continue through September 21st. The river is in good shape, there are a decent number of fish in the river above Junction City. The restoration side channel below the Cemetery Hole is no longer spewing mud, you should have good clarity all the way down. At this time with the elevated flows water temps down to the North Fork confluence remain below 60 F. Now would be a great time to swing one up below Pigeon Point. A lot of salmon have piled into holes in the upper river pushing fish into other areas to hold, so keep that in mind. We have quite a few fish in the 18-22" range from Lewiston on downstream with a few large adults thrown in the mix. Fish are pretty grabby right now, it is a good time to swing and skate. For now, the water temps at Hoopa are below 67 F and with the clouds and rain we will see, they should drop further. We've got guides available right now that can get you out, give us a call or you can go directly to our Trinity guide page and book a trip now.

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
