General Information: Fishing is starting to slow down a little bit, with the low, clear water and no rain. Still, there are lots of fish... and even more people. The crowds on the Trinity are still there, especially in the Junction City area, although hopefully they will start to dissipate as the termperature continues to grow colder and winter weather finally starts to set in.

ishing 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.
