Trinity River: , by Dax Messett: Commitment to Angling: 3 stars The Trinity is really shaping up, what a fun year. More rain today, and lots of new chrome fish are moving into the system. Pressure is pretty high, but that doesn't matter to me. I know enough cool water to accommodate my clients with great water all day long.
I have been doing alot of spilt days...walk/wading and doing short floats. We have been fishing alot of beautiful swing water with no other anglers around. My clients have mostly been swing/schwymph anglers this year, and we have been hooking between 1 to 3 fish a day this last week. Alex Ferber rose a huge chrome fish to a dry two days ago...epic.
I hear the bead grab is off...what a shame. I have been using a variety of traditional steelhead patterns and some stonefly nymphs on occassion. If you fish hard, you will eventually hook one..in the mouth, on various flies.
The rest of November and December should be excellent.
