This is our top pick for locations to fish over the next week. This weekend will see some light rain happening Sunday evening, temps will remain above 40 F for the next week and a half which is downright balmy for this river. Good flies remain Olive Hotspots, Duracells, and any of the other Perdigons are the primary patterns. Tie 'em on, dead drift them in front of a Steelie and be prepared for a good fight! We are beginning to sell Solitude's TB Golden Stone, Mercer's Poxyback Golden Stone, and the Rolling Stone, For the swing fisherman, it will be a good idea to swap out your floating head with a sinking line and a tip to dangle a large intruder in front of these fish as the water temps are hovering in the upper 40s. Travis' Half Man is a good pattern, the black & chartreuse is a good color. This December has been a very, very good December on the Trinity. And December is the best time to go! Give Bryan or Chris a call if you would like to experience a good year on the Trinity!

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.
