The Trinity River is one of the best places to hook into a steelhead in California. This is not only a beautiful place to fish, it's also one of the most productive steelhead rivers in the state. The steelies most commonly range from 4-10 lbs, but they can get even larger. They are strong fish that jump frequently when hooked. Many of the fish are wild. The Trinity has a good variety of water types. There are five different floats on the upper river, each with a slightly different character. There are runs that are perfect for indicator nymphing and riffles where swinging flies can be deadly.
