I just finished up a two-day trip on the Trinity.  When I arrived Thursday morning the river was chocolate-colored at Steel Bridge due to the heavy rains overnight.  I took clients Ted & Alex to Lewiston Lake for the morning.  We found some rising fish right away and caught a few on nymphs and one on a small dry.  Most of them were 15" fatties.  Lewiston Lake fish always fight really well.  We left the lake at lunch and spent the afternoon floating the river.  By mid-day the river was already cleared up and in great shape.  Fishing was tough, but we got a nice brown on a nymph and we swung up a half-pounder on the spey rod.

 

Today was better.  It was a beautiful, warm day.  Alex got one big grab on the spey rod, but the rest of our action was on nymphs and dries.  Ted got a great brown on a nymph and Alex went 2/3 on steelies.  We also rose a few nice browns on dries.  It was a really nice two days on the river.  There is really good variety this time of year, and hardly anybody around!  We had a great hatch of caddisflies and March browns today.  I even saw a green drake yesterday.
