The Trinity is looking much better since the rain we got last week.  The  river came up about 6 - 8 inches in the Junction City  area and the steelies were on the move during that rainy period.  The fish we have been catching are still bright and  averaging 50% hatchery and 50% wild fish.  I am starting to see a lot more spawning activity  in the upper runs and  more spent downers in the lower runs below the North Fork.

We have been doing a lot of  switch and spey rod fishing this season and having our best luck swinging small smolt and leeches (#6 & #8’s) and black, peacock and golden stonefly imatations in sizes #6,#8 & #10’s.

Fishing Stoneflys P.T.’s, hare’s ears, copper Johns, micro mayfly’s, caddis imatations and egg patterns are working, fished under an indicator.

Weatherman is calling for more rain, starting today and lasting into next week, so that should keep the fish moving.

If you want more info on the fishing  send me an e-mail www.riverbendadventures.com

I have only been focused on the Trinity , so I do not know first hand what the fishing has been like on other Northern California waters.

The Lower SAC  has been fishing Good …. from what I’ve heard from other guides.
