Spey Casting Home Lower Klamath Spey Camp Winter Spey Stays Trinity Spey Trips Upper Rogue Spey Trips Lower Sac Trout Spey Yuba River Trout Spey Contact Us	Trinity River Spey Trips Trinity River Spey Trips The Trinity River is a great river for catching steelhead with your spey rod. All of our guides are accomplished spey casters and spey instructors. Mid-September through December are the best times to catch fish on your spey rod on the Trinity. Raft Trips Rafts are ideal for spey trips on the Trinity River. The raft is easy to get in and out of, can negotiate rocky rapids, and can be launched just about anywhere. Rafts allow easy access to some great swing water. Aggressive Fish Trinity steelhead are known for moving to the fly and striking aggressively. Walk-wade trips We do a lot of walk-wade spey trips on the Trinity. Why? If you don't mind scrambling over rocks and can work your way through a run quickly, we can actually fish more good spots in a day of walk-wade fishing than in a day of floating. Salmon on the Swing While steelhead are the primary target, we also hook into a fair number of big king salmon on the Trinity. These fish are mostly 5 to 15 pounds and are powerful fighters. Flies for the Trinity We fish all types of steelhead flies here, from small traditional patterns to skaters to 4 inch long leech patterns. B.C. in Your Backyard If we were to design a river with great numbers of fish, a diversity of water types, natural beauty, dependable fishing conditions, and make it the perfect size for beginner spey casters, it would probably look a lot like the Trinity River. Steelhead hold in many water types on the Trinity that can be fished effectively with a two-handed rod. The river is small enough that even beginner spey casters can almost reach the far bank in a lot of prime runs. Every year we get dozens of spey anglers into their first spey rod steelhead ever on the Trinity. Experienced spey casters have a good shot at hooking multiple fish each day. Recent Trinity River Fishing Reports 9/24/18 by Brian Kohlman: Fellow Confluence Outfitters guide Kevin Kay and I did some early season scouting on the Trinity today and it was well worth the trip! We both landed a number of adult fish and a couple half-pounders. Most of the adults were smaller – 20-inch class, but I landed a nice hatchery fish and lost a very large adult. The boat pressure is fairly light, but we encountered a number of walk-in salmon anglers. Fall is right around the corner – have you booked your Trinity trip yet? 9/19/18 by Andrew Harris: I had a great time today fishing with Mike and Brian from Arkansas. They're out for the TU National Convention in Redding this weekend. These guys are used to catching really big trout on the White River in Arkansas (Brian guides there - check out "Kick's Fly Fishing Arkansas"), but neither had ever caught a steelhead. When they heard there was a chance at steelhead over on the Trinity River they were very excited for the opportunity. The river was really quiet today. We saw two other boats and 3 bank anglers. Mike hooked and landed a wild steelhead around 10:30am and then we went for quite a while without any action. Near the end of the day Brian briefly hooked a nice fish, and then he got serious. In our last two spots Brian hooked and landed several nice steelhead and one really nice salmon. Our biggest steelhead was about 5 pounds and the salmon measured 29 inches. It was a lot of fun and a great way to end the day. 2/17/18 by Sam Robinett: Guided Steve + Paul from Madera yesterday on the Trinity. Paul hooked an adult steelhead on the first cast! Fishing has been a bit on the slow side but there's certainly fish in the river. Mayfly imitations have been consistently working. Visit our Trinity River Fishing Report page to view more reports!

Gear Recommendations for the Trinity River Rods, Reels & Lines: The most commonly used spey rods on the Trinity River are 5 and 6wt rods. Lighter and heavier rods will work also, but might not be as well matched to the size of the river or the fish. Come prepared with scandi lines and versi-leaders for fishing near the surface and also skagit lines with MOW tips for fishing a little deeper. Switch rods can also work really well on the Trinity, especially in the upper reaches where the river is smaller. Leaders & Tippet: We usually fish 8 or 10# maxima. When fishing floating lines, a 10ft 8# steelhead leader will do the trick. Waders & Boots: We use chest-high breathable waders on the Trinity. Spiked wading boots are not necessary. Make sure to bring your own wading belt. Occasionally in September and early October it is warm enough to wet wade. Flies: Perpetrator, all colors Hoh Bo Speys Silver Hilton, 6 Brindle Bug, 6 Egg Sucking String Leech, 4 Silveynator, black & orange Lodging & Travel Info Please visit our Weaverville page for hotel and restaurant recommendations and ideas about other things to see and do while you're in Weaverville! The Straw House in Big Bar is another good choice for lodging if you are planning to fish the lower portions of the river.
