Trinity River Report by Randy Hamann

Not Sure how it happens ? But every Client I've had in my boat this year on the Trinity has heard from their local Fly Shop or at their Local Fly Club gatherings, form Southern California to Central Oregon, that the Trinity River has been on FIRE this season, fishing has never been better, numbers are off the Richtar Scale, etc, etc. Hate to break the news to ya, but its a pretty average year on the Trinity, some days you get em, some days you don't. I'm always looking for fish when I'm moving from run to run and this year, from what I am seeing, is less then Exceptional ! Since I'm on the subject, Steelhead fishing reports are Absolutely Worthless, the number of Steelhead you run into today will NOT be an indicator have what you will see tomorrow. And that works both ways ! SteelHead MOVE, SteelHead get in a Funk and sometimes if you're lucky Steelhead get Grabby !The Only Steelhead report that has any value is the one you make yourself ! Put in your time, have realistic exspectations and enjoy your surroundings and hopefully the SteelHead Gods shine down upon you ! Get out there have some fun, finally I'll recomend to you, do not come up here or any SteelHead River on the Planet, because the SteelHead fishing is RED HOT !

Northern California Report by Mat Squillante

Most of the team has been on the Trinity or the Lower Sac the past few weeks. Both rivers have been fishing well. The Trinity saw a spike in fishing pressure after the last rain and I expect more of the same with tomorrow's storm. The rain should get the fish moving around and will add some color to the gin clear, low water. If you're thinking about a trip December and January can be good months!

Northern California Report by Mat Squillante

Having salmon back in our rivers is exciting. The only thing more exciting, is the trout and steelhead who show up to feast on their eggs. The Confluence team's been on the Lower Sac, Trinity, Feather and Yuba. Each river offers a different experience but the fishing is similar… excellent! Luke and I recently split two days between the Lower Sac and the Trinity. Both rivers fished great! Kevin Kay and Matt Dover have also been running trips on the Lower Sac with quite a bit of success. The Feather and the Yuba have been firing on all cylinders too. I talked with Mike Wright a few weeks ago, he said Fall River was still fishing well - check in with Mike for a more recent update. The mountains, will see October caddis in the coming weeks which can sometimes make for good, late day, dry fly action. Will I ever give a RED HOT rating? I'm unsure but the recent fishing makes it increasingly difficult to hold out. Stay tuned or better yet, join us on the water because now's the time to fish!
