The Trinity River
The largest tributary to the Klamath River, the Trinity River is home to some of the biggest steelhead in the entire river system. Because of this reputation, the river can be busy with anglers but with over 100 miles of beautiful Steelhead water – finding solitude is entirely possible. The breathtaking scenery makes this river a very popular destination. Steelhead season on the Trinity runs from October-March with the peak of the season in December/January/February.
The weather can be cold so layering is recommended. Waders and a rain jackets are essential. Nymphing under indicators is the most productive way of fishing here though swinging a fly can be very effective in the early season when warmer water temperatures make the fish more aggressive. We teach and instruct the two-handed swing method to anyone wanting to learn. The Trinity flows for 165 miles (266 km) through the Klamath Mountains. Designated a National Wild and Scenic River, along most of its course the Trinity flows swiftly through tight canyons and mountain meadows.

Weather and River Conditions
We do our best to keep customers happy and safe, but some things are beyond our control. Your guide might need to cancel or change a trip if the weather or river conditions are unsafe. We won’t cancel fishing trips just because it’s cold, rainy, or snowy. If the river is okay for fishing, your guided fly fishing trip should happen as planned.
