Trinity River: , by Andrew Harris: Spey 1, Bob 0: 3 stars I just finished up two days on the Trinity with father/son team Bob & John. This was my first trip down the river this season and it's amazing how much has changed. Flows were well over 10,000cfs this spring and the high water moved a lot of rock! There has also been some mechanical stream alteration in the Junction City area. All in all, the river looks better than ever. There are a few nice new spots and some great new swing water. We didn't encounter a lot of steelhead, but we saw quite a few on the move. Our first day we hooked as many salmon as we did steelhead. Bob had a great hook-up on an adult fish and landed a half-pounder. John landed a small salmon. Today we did a different float and John landed a nice wild steelhead on a spey rod. Today was his first day of spey casting. There are tons of salmon around. Some are spawning, but a lot still look really fresh. The salmon guides are doing well.
